In the teaching of Biology, the use of the traditional method allied to the presence of content of difficult assimilation, has been one of the main factors that promote the demotivation of students. However, the use of educational games in the school can contribute to a more dynamic learning, favoring motivation to learn. The objective of this work was to evaluate the contribution of the game "knowing the Invertebrates" as a didactic and motivational instrument for teaching about this theme". A prototype of the game was applied to biology teachers and students from the third grade of high school. Shortly after, both were interviewed in order to evaluate the presence of certain pedagogical elements in the game, as well as their acceptability and contribution to learning about the theme, respectively. Modifications were made in the game, as indicated by the professors interviewed and this didactic resource proved to be adequate and indicated for high school, characterizing itself as a didactic and entertaining tool for teaching about zoology in School.
