Abstract
This article aims to analyze the importance of using playfulness in school Physical Education classes, highlighting its benefits for the integral development of students. The qualitative bibliographic research carried out reveals that playfulness, through games, play and recreational activities, can contribute to the motor, cognitive, affective and social development of students. Playfulness, as an inherent element of childhood and adolescence, allows children and young people to explore the world, develop skills, build social relationships and learn to deal with their emotions. In school PE, playfulness can be used as a pedagogical tool to make classes more attractive, motivating and meaningful for students, promoting the development of motor, cognitive, affective and social skills. Furthermore, playfulness can make classes more attractive and motivating, increasing students’ interest and participation. The article also discusses the challenges of implementing playfulness in Physical Education classes, such as lack of time, resources and teacher training. Finally, suggestions are presented for playful activities that can be applied in different school contexts, aiming to stimulate creativity, cooperation and pleasure in the practice of physical activities.
