This research shows how certain serious games can contribute to the development of multiple intelligences at primary school. We describe an innovative experience supported by the routine weekly use of a video game with elementary school students (N=101). Results collated with a control group showed significant increases in their minds -using the instrument (Prieto & Ferrándiz, 2001) before and after the experience- especially mathematics and viso-space in girls, and linguistics and interpersonal in children, where girls benefit most globally. It invites to reflect on the required teaching qualification for these instruments ludic, this tools are reducing the cognitive effort involving some learning opportunities, and achieve successful yields.
