Basic education students have difficulties in assimilating the basic concepts of Genetics. The objective this work is to present the game “Tabuleiro de Genes” as a tool for teaching Genetics. The game consists of a board with 24 cards containing questions and answers, made from alternative materials and easily reproducible. It was used as a methodological procedure to direct observation using a questionnaire. The pedagogical instrument was applied in November 2015. The study involved 23 students of the third grade of High School of a public school, in the city of Codó (MA). When applying the game, one can see the importance of combining theory with practice. It was also possible to detect the interaction of students, discussing their questions and expressing ideas. Thus, the game served as a stimulator of cognitive activities, as well as to increase the contact of students with genetics.
