The importance of diversification of didactic materials to improve the teaching-learning process is currently recognized. Didactic games are a good alternative for facilitating such a process due to their ability to motivate the student to actively construct knowledge within the context of a friendly environment. Therefore, because of the need to implement and to give support to enable the new generation of teachers to use different methodologies such as didactic games, a short course was provided based on the use of didactic games to teach Chemistry to students at the Universidade Federal de Goiás – Campus Catalão. In light of the good results obtained from the short course “Didactic Games and Ludic Activity in the Natural Sciences, Mathematics and their Technologies”, this work aims to disseminate the potential contribution achieved using diverse didactic games covering various topics of Chemistry.
