The objective of this work has been to verify the appropriate self-perceived behaviors during and at the end of the game, in relation to the social skills according to the results of the children of 5th and 6th grade of Primary Education. The study population was composed of 698 students of the third cycle of Primary Education, belonging to the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). The data collection was conducted through a questionnaire (scale) about the social skills of Primary Education students, in relation to the skills of fair play and social skills. The results of the study showed that the behaviors analyzed vary according to gender and type of school, without finding a great difference depending on the school year.
