The Solar System With the Use of the Hunting Words Game

Morgana Lígia de Farias Freire

Abstract: In the science teaching of elementary education, there are many possibilities to work on the concepts, avoiding merely expository teaching; but taking into account other methodological proposals, such as the use of games. The game is characterized by fun and freedom with rules that must be followed. In order to prevent the student from stop being a simple content recipient and start interacting and appropriating the very process of knowledge construction, we propose the use of the Word Search game. Therefore, we present an activity proposal using the game Word Hunting involving the content of the Solar System, targeting children or teenagers from elementary school. When using the game Word Search, the teacher will realize that one can stimulate creativity, because it is a game that stimulates reasoning and attention.

Key words: solar system, game, word search, science teaching
