Basic motor skills, as well as flexibility and coordination, are of paramount importance to develop at school age, as these are prerequisites to achieve adequate techniques and tactics in sports. The objective of this study is to improve flexibility and coordination in middle school students, in Physical Education classes through playful activities, at the Daniel Muñoz Serrano School. This research is of a descriptive cross-sectional type and with a quantitative approach. The population under study is made up of 180 students, the results show the capacity for flexibility and coordination are at a bad and very bad level, in terms of coordination, an inefficiency in its development has been evidenced. It is concluded that it is necessary to emphasize alternatives for the development of these capacities, for which activities that contribute to the improvement of these capacities are proposed respectively.
