Abstract

Ludicity and art are fundamental elements in the educational process, as they provide new ways of learning that go beyond the simple transmission of information. Through play, imagination, creativity, and artistic expression, it is possible to develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills that are essential for the integral formation of the individual. In the school context, the use of playfulness and art contributes to make the classes more dynamic and attractive, arousing the students' interest and motivation. Educational games, games, storytelling, and artistic activities such as drawing, painting, dancing, and theater are examples of resources that can be used to enrich the teaching-learning process. Moreover, playfulness and art allow a more contextualized approach to the contents, as they enable the connection of theoretical knowledge with the students' reality and their daily lives, thus making a connection between theory and practice. Thus, learning becomes more meaningful and relevant, facilitating the understanding and assimilation of the contents in an active way, placing the student as the protagonist of his learning. Finally, it is important to highlight that playfulness and art also contribute to the development of students' self-esteem, self-confidence, and autonomy, since they favor the expression of emotions and feelings, in addition to stimulating creativity and imagination. Thus, by exploring new learning possibilities through playfulness and art, it is possible to enhance the integral development of students, forming more critical, reflective, and creative citizens.
