The activities designed are focused on playful practices, using the free tools of Google Drive to improve collaboration among students of an educational institution located in the Canton La Concordia, in the Province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, Ecuador. The methodology used to achieve the proposed objectives follows a design based on collaborative work, incorporating principles of Marzano and Kendall's taxonomy, under a self-regulated learning approach that promotes the recognition of goals and the establishment of retention sessions, understanding, analysis and use of content. The results obtained consisted of five sessions with innovative collaborative activities that improved the students' ludic competencies in the subject of Physical Education. As conclusions, the importance of the use of Google Drive in educational activities is highlighted, since it contributes to the strengthening of learning, performance and collaborative skills of students. In addition, this proposal demonstrates how the integration of technological tools can facilitate an educational development adapted to the current needs of students, promoting interaction, cooperation and continuous improvement in their learning process. The use of these tools also favors the development of digital competencies, essential in the modern educational context.
