recreational actions aimed at rescuing traditional games in the second cycle of primary
education, at the "Rubén Carrillo Sánchez" Seminternado of the Vigía-Sandino Popular
Council. In the investigation, the analytical-synthetic and inductive-deductive methods,
observation, survey, triangulation and specialist criteria were used; as well as the
participatory brainstorming technique and the empirical frequency distribution
statistical technique. The specialists value the proposal as necessary and feasible, where
the methodological design of the games is shown as part of the physical-recreational
activities. The design of the actions based on the tastes and physical-recreational
preferences of the children, allowed that in its implementation they show interest in
participating, happiness, joy, satisfaction and motivation. The physical-recreational
actions propitiate the rescue of the traditional games that are characterized by the
variety of options; the methodological design that is described from the name of the
game, materials, organization and development, as well as variants for each of them,
which are easy to carry out and do not require large resources for their implementation.
