This article explores the potential of video games as pedagogical tools in Physical Education classes in elementary school. The increasing popularity of video games among children and adolescents, coupled with technological advancements, raises questions about how these tools can be integrated into the school curriculum to promote learning and the overall development of students. The research, of a theoretical nature, involved a review of relevant literature on the topic. The results point to the potential of video games to promote motivation, engagement, and the development of motor, cognitive, and socio-emotional skills. However, challenges such as screen time and the need for pedagogical adaptation are also discussed. The article concludes with recommendations for the effective use of video games in Physical Education, emphasizing the importance of teacher mediation and the careful selection of games appropriate to pedagogical objectives.
