description The article proposes a didactic strategy through cooperative games to promote the water awareness of the student population of Business Administration, of the University of the Amazon, in the Colombian Amazon foothills. It is a research applied to the educational field with a descriptive, cross-sectional approach, which involves the phases of diagnosis, application and evaluation of the didactic intervention. The results show limitations of water environmental knowledge in the future professionals of the region, which constitute inputs for the design and construction of the cooperative game from the sociocultural perspective. The implementation reveals the potential of the game as a catalyst for learning, a motivator for changes in habits and practices regarding the rational use of water resources and the development of generic skills, such as: teamwork, assertive communication, consensus and decision decision making.

El artículo propone una estrategia didáctica mediante el juego cooperativo para favorecer la conciencia hídrica de la población estudiantil de Administración de Empresas, de la Universidad de la Amazonia, en el piedemonte amazónico colombiano. Es una investigación aplicada al ámbito educativo con enfoque descriptivo de corte transversal, que involucra las fases de diagnóstico, aplicación y evaluación de la intervención didáctica. Los resultados arrojan limitaciones de conocimiento ambiental hídrico en los futuros profesionales de la región, que constituyen insumos para el diseño y construcción del juego cooperativo desde la perspectiva sociocultural. La implementación devela las potencialidades del juego como dinamizador del aprendizaje, motivador de cambios de hábitos y prácticas respecto al uso racional del recurso hídrico y el desarrollo de competencias genéricas, tales como: el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación asertiva, el consenso y la toma de decisiones.
