EXPLORING PLAYFUL GAMES IN BIOLOGY TEACHING

Abstract

The general objective of this article is to analyze the impact of the use of recreational games in the teaching and learning of biological sciences; and the specific objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness of recreational games as a learning tool; to identify the types of recreational games that are most appropriate for different biological concepts and age groups; and to verify the implementation of activities based on recreational games. This article used a bibliographic approach in books, articles from scientific journals, and periodicals. A bibliographic survey will be carried out to review the literature on the use of games in the teaching of biology. In conclusion, it can be deduced that games and games should be part of education, since when children are inserted in the school environment, in addition to their knowledge of the world that they already have from their family and social life, they must complete this knowledge with the systematized knowledge of formal education. Given that children need to expand their socialization, this will be even more pronounced when they begin to live with people who are different from their family environment; regarding their psychological and learning development.
