In this article, an experience report is presented proposing a game of cards involving the concepts of electrical circuits. The report aims to share the game with other teachers and analyze its pedagogical potential in motivating and stimulating students’ multiple intelligences. The activities were carried out with approximately 30 High School students from a public school in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The case presented was part of a larger research about methodological pluralism and multiple intelligences in electrical circuits teaching. The research in which the experience is inserted has a qualitative nature and the data were obtained through observations and audio recording of classes. The records were transcribed and analyzed through Discursive Textual Analysis. The text describes the rules and the constituent elements of the game and discuss some examples of electrical circuits that can be elaborated. Finally, our experience using the game in the classroom is described and the collected data are analyzed based on the theory of multiple intelligences. Due to its social and challenging nature, the game proved to be an interesting tool to stimulate different intelligences and increase student motivation and participation in the educational process.
