Abstract

This is a final project whose theme is the use of games in teaching Geography, working on the theme of the Amazon River Hydrographic Basin. The objectives were: Discuss the use of games in the teaching and learning process and their importance in teaching Geography; build games that address the main rivers and hydrological characteristics in the Amazon; evaluate the viability of games built on the Amazon river basin in Geography classes. The methodology is qualitative and descriptive. The results show the feasibility of using the game constructed as a teaching resource in Geography classes, as the games aroused the interest of students and teachers in the subject, raised doubts and questions, provided opportunities for the use of knowledge constructed in previous classes and favored the revision of the content in a playful way. Keywords: Geography teaching; Amazon Rivers; Learning games.
