This article dialogues with the researches that have been trying to peer the circulation and practices of schooling in Brazil and Argentina. This group of reflections has been striving to clarify the necessary care that must follow the investigative interests of the ones who are willing to accept the challenge of building a comparative exercise. Among theses cares, the biggest one may be the one regarding the preoccupation in highlighting, not only the proximities, but, fundamentally, the historical singularities of the analyzed circumstances. Anchored in this theoretical-methodological perspective, approximations and detachments between the staging of educational spectacles featured by children along the 1920's in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires were questioned. In that sense, the motivations that played a role in both cities were in the focus so that such occasions were employed for the dissemination of educational precepts by urban environments.
