The following work includes research on gamification in the educational context and in foreign language teaching. A gamification proposal has been developed for the Senior Infants classroom, in a school located in Sligo, Ireland, where the foreign language to be introduced is Spanish. The theme of the project was zoo animals, where a zookeeper asked the class to help him find the animals that were lost. By completing missions such as puzzles, reports, or quizzes, these animals appeared and filled in all the missing spaces in the zoo. The main objective of this proposal was to improve classroom relations and teamwork in a different and attractive way for them.
