(1) Background: Gamification has emerged as an innovative strategy in education and involves integrating game elements into pedagogical activities to enhance motivation and the development of cognitive and social skills. The aim was to analyze the effects of active gamification on the emotional well-being and social skills of primary school students. (2) Methods: A total of 120 children with a mean age of 9.40 ± 0.98 years were divided into an experimental group (EG) that carried out a program based on gamification in physical exercise and a control group (CG). (3) Results: The EG improved significantly in self-concept compared to the CG, as did the levels of personal self-esteem, which increased significantly. Likewise, improvements were found in all the subdomains of social skills, except in the subdomain of jealousy/loneliness. (4) Conclusions: The introduction of gamification into Physical Education classes is recommended as an effective tool to improve self-esteem, self-concept, and social skills in primary education
