The existence of a direct relationship between people's emotions and social skills is irrefutable; moreover, the importance of internalising both aspects from an early age must be taken into consideration. The present study shows a project to work on emotional intelligence in a classroom in the second cycle of Pre-Primary Education. This project has been designed taking into account the four essential phases of the project-based methodology, and consists of fourteen activities distributed in ten sessions over two weeks. From a globalising perspective, we work through a methodology based on meaningful, functional and constructivist learning, with the child being the protagonist of their own learning, and with cooperative work and play having a primary role. Family-school cooperation is also encouraged, involving students' families in their learning.
