The results indicated that the games attracted the interest of the students and encouraged them to learn the subject. Teachers reported several positive aspects about the use of the collection. Thus, positive and satisfactory results were obtained as far as the objectives proposed by the "Game of Predators" are concerned. These games consist of educational material supporting the fundamental teaching, aiming at a better comprehension of subjects that involve the proposed topic, making the teaching of Sciences and Environmental Education easier.
