Abstract

The paper aimed to investigate the importance of using educational games for teaching science in the early years, through the development and evaluation of a playful, dynamic and multidisciplinary methodology, involving an educational game. The strategy consists of a game called "Tijuana Jones and the raiders of the lost pyramids". The activity starts from a story that mixes facts and real information with dummy data, associating the pyramids of Egypt and their history with the Food Pyramid and its importance to the maintenance of healthy eating and living. The educational game has been tested with students of the 4^th grade of elementary education in a public school in Cachoeira do Sul, state of Rio Grande do Sul, and in a qualitative analysis, it was very highly rated. In practice, the students were able to engage in a challenging and stimulating pursuit in order to unravel one of the mysteries left by the young pharaoh Tutankhamun, which resulted in great interest, participation and learning.
