Abstract: This research paper, the result of a study that aimed to integrate playfulness into mathematics teaching using games, activities, and dynamics to make learning more accessible and engaging, aims to understand the repercussions of the inclusion of potentially playful devices, such as games, activities, and dynamics, in mathematics teaching for elementary school students. It analyzes how playfulness can enhance learning , promote a more positive view of mathematics, and develop cognitive and interpersonal skills in children. The research adopts an exploratory qualitative approach and was conducted with two second-grade elementary school classes in schools in the municipality of Juazeiro, Bahia. The study was divided into four stages that explored logical reasoning games, games of ethnic and cultural origin, mathematical dynamics, and applications of concepts in everyday life.
