Cooperative games for the inclusion of students with Down Syndrome in Physical Education will not only contribute to the fulfillment of the rights of people with disabilities, but will also enrich the quality of education and promote a more inclusive and diversity conscious society. The research presented proposes a system of cooperative games for the inclusion of 8th grade students with Down Syndrome in Physical Education classes, who belong to the San Juan Boscoso Specialized Educational Unit. These are established from non-significant curricular adjustments where methods, techniques, teaching and learning strategies, evaluation and scheduled activities were modified. Theoretical methods such as historical-logical, analysis synthesis, as well as the empirical ones such as documentary review, observation, and interview were used, which from a scientific perspective facilitated the creation of guidelines to characterize and assess the possibilities of the 27 8th grade students with Down Syndrome (DS), as well as to modify the curriculum of the program conducted for this grade, based on the use of cooperative games for their enjoyment and improvement of physical-emotional skills and abilities in order to make the lives of students with DS more pleasant, as evidenced by the favorable theoretical assessment and the possibilities of applying the cooperative games system for students with DS, its structuring in components, phases and actions for the execution of this process; stated by the specialists consulted.
