Abstract

This study aimed to propose recreational activities that help keep students in actions that benefit the progress of their intellectual, psychological and socio-emotional capacity, as well as their basic physical capacities; promoting a healthy environment, contributing to the insertion of adolescents with problems of consumption of alcoholic beverages. The research is applied in the province of Santa Elena, Cantón Salinas, in the urban parish of Santa Rosa, specifically to a population of 25 unified general high school students from the Dolores Elena Quelal Educational Unit, where data collection was qualitative and quantitative. We used the survey technique and field observation, whose results describe that the average age of adolescents who begin to consume alcoholic beverages ranges from 15 to 16 years of age, a trend that is consistent with the studies of the World Health Organization, with a 100% of the respondents that have tried some type of alcoholic beverages. In addition, it is described that these actions are derived from factors directly associated with family consent, curiosity, and motivation of their "friends", among others, denoting that there is a permissibility with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Based on this background, it was necessary to implement a program of recreational activities and dynamics, in order to allow the involvement of adolescents and to keep their attention on beneficial aspects. Among the activities implemented, group integration stands out, which was acceptable to 85% of the adolescents, and relationship dynamics, which were acceptable to 90% of the adolescents. This shows the positive influence of group dynamics on adolescents, as they help them stay busy with productive activities.
