It is in early childhood where the human being experiences emotions for the first time and the experiences he has with them will determine his ability to identify them, express them, regulate them, as well as to relate to his environment. The development of emotional capacities in this stage focuses on recognizing emotions, understanding the emotions of their peers, and understanding the world around them; However, the environment in which children operate is often not appropriate, therefore, the child does not learn to identify his or her emotions, nor to express them, nor how to act once the emotion is manifested, which leads to children do not express themselves freely, and have negative behavior because of this. This is why it is necessary for teaching to develop pedagogical activities that provide children with sufficient tools to strengthen their emotional capacities, which is why the objective of this research was to strengthen the emotional development of preschool boys and girls. of the San Carlos Educational Institution of Seville, Valle through theater, through a qualitative research methodology of research - action, through the implementation of seven pedagogical plans focused on strengthening the emotional capacities proposed by Palau, (2004) , socialization, self-regulation, autonomous growth and creation of meanings, once these pedagogical plans were implemented the children showed changes in their behavior, in the manifestation not only of their emotions but also of their needs, they showed signs of regulating their emotions by reacting impulsively to situations that were not to their liking, in turn they learned to resolve conflicts respectfully with their peers, understanding their points of view and giving validity to their emotions.
