Based on the methodology employed was noticed that teacher fac-es difficulties such as lack of materials, ideas and time where activities are carried out sporad-ically and without much emphasis. On the other hand, through the week of activities pro-posed, a rich tool in the teaching and learning process, was afforded, which showed that from small, children develop different aspects that make them grow personally and culturally, as well as aware of the role they should play in the context in which they live, where creativity and playfulness should be key pieces in the puzzle that is the educational process.
