Abstract: In the fields of Environmental Education and Scholar Cartography, games contribute to the process of teaching and learning of the child --and stop being objects of entertainment --if they are formulated with specific objectives and intentions quite clear and straightforward.In formal and non-formal education, the game encourages learning, because it may stimulates curiosity and creates a natural effort to overcome challenges.Upon these considerations, this research had as object of study the games in the teaching of Geosciences.For this, from the theoretical framework of definitions, contributions and difficulties of games in education, were analyzed games made specifically to work contents of schoolar Geography, such as Environmental Education and Cartography.These materials have a strategy for teaching the appreciation of the place.They are designed with attractive materials and easy to use dynamics, made from design computer programs based on maps and remote sensing images of the student's living space.These games include puzzles, memory games, board games and two versions of dominoes.In order to go deep into those discussions, this research aimed, through questionnaires focused on students and professionals in education, to evaluate and score the possible contributions of those materials.From such analyzes, we intended to restructure the pilot games and build materials and courses that had as their central theme the use of games in education, considering the educator's fundamental role as mediator during the application of the game and that it is up to him to conduct the activity.Because those dynamics break with the usual routines of teaching, often the teacher is not prepared to use the material.Thus, we intend to share with those professionals suggestions for contents and descriptions of procedures for the preparation of materials and for their application.
