The theoretical basis for the study of recreational activities such as mediation and learning tool for this research work was based on the theory of sociointeractionist of Lev Vygotsky Semonovich. Our research approach is qualitative and quantitative, as we believe that there is an interdependence between quantifiable indicators and qualitative aspects and so they complement each other. For the development and completion of research we seek tools that made it possible: observe and analyze facts or relevant tools, collect and analyze statistical data that contributed to the target audience of the teaching and learning process. We used as research tools four comprehension tests, nine textbooks of Geography, for evaluation of the texts and images on astronomy and plan and apply four ludic activities. Finally we treat the results and analysis of the survey instruments. The study revealed that the use of the textbook in a critical perspective, combined with fun activities, were educational tools of great importance in the teaching and learning of astronomy content, but also the reflection of various human values, for students of the class of 6th year of elementary school.
