Success in the academic field is the product of adequate training in the early stages of the individual. Faced with such requirement, the present study was aimed at establishing the relationship between leisure and graphomotricity in students at the primary level of regular basic education. The design used is non-experimental, correlational-descriptive, of a basic type with a quantitative approach. The population consisted of 160 students from the initial, first and second grade levels of an educational institution in the Los Olivos district, Lima. The census was used. For the data collection, a checklist was used in the case of play and, for graphomotricity, a questionnaire. Statistical data was processed with IBM SPSS version 24 software. The results of the investigation determined that the recreational variable is directly and significantly related to the graphomotricity variable, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.620, this relationship being moderate or medium. It concludes on the importance of play in the development of the precision of graphomotricity.
