Abstract

The development of social skills involves an acquisition process over the years. The curricular area of physical education can be a valuable playful and fun context in which these skills can be improved. The aim of this study was to evaluate these skills in elementary school children (6th grade; n = 54) through a questionnaire to then carry out a program to develop social skills. The instrument used was the Social Interaction Skills Questionnaire (CHIS). The results indicated the ability to make friends was the less developed skill, while basic social interaction skills were the ones with better scores. The girls obtained better average score than boys. The main conclusion of the study is the need to work on social skills within the educational stage as they are presented as something fundamental to function and develop in society.
