Abstract

This article presents a bibliographic review on the use of educational games in the teaching-learning process in classes of Elementary School I. The aim of the research is to analyze how games can influence students' motivation and performance. The adopted methodology includes the selection and analysis of articles, books, and academic papers relevant to the topic, covering various periods and contexts. The results indicate that the use of educational games contributes to the development of cognitive, social, and emotional skills, making learning more dynamic and enjoyable. Moreover, it is observed that the incorporation of games in pedagogical practices can foster a collaborative environment and stimulate students' interest in school activities. The final considerations emphasize the importance of integrating educational games into the school routine, not only as a teaching strategy but as an approach that enhances the construction of knowledge in a more playful and meaningful way.
