Abstract: Cuban education has been recognized worldwide for its high quality in the educational teaching process, and the differentiated attention it pays to individual differences. Learning is one of the objectives, and attention to this is a concern of the teacher. At present, special attention is paid to an important factor for school learning, which is attention during the teaching-learning process, specifically its deficit in Primary School children who present attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. For this reason, a mobile apk that contributes to treating the deficiencies they present through games was projected as the objective of this research. This research is based on the original idea of Lic. Adonis Bota, who graduated in 2020, who in the defense of the course work contributed to the design of a video game for children with this type of disorder. To this end, a search has been carried out from a psychological, pedagogical and technological point of view for the patterns that characterize this activity, which allowed us to propose a series of recreational activities that interact and respond to the training needs of these children. The methods used for the research were Analysis-Synthesis, Modeling, Systemic Approach, Surveys, interviews and observation guide. The research is applied in the Josué País García school in the city of Santiago de Cuba located in the Vista Alegre neighborhood and has allowed us to verify the needs and the little use of mobile technology in this type of teaching, being a support point to insert knowledge acquired and change the reality of these children who need it so much.
