In view of the difficulties of contextualizing the contents worked in the subject of chemistry with the daily of students to facilitate their understanding and make the teaching and learning processes more effective, teachers resort to various teaching strategies and didactic resources to energize their classes and arouse the interest of students. Therefore, this work aims to propose a didactic sequence (DS), focusing on the Science, Technology and Society (STC) approach, using a game as a didactic resource, to be used by teachers in the final years of Elementary II and High School. The methodology used was qualitative research having the data regarding the contributions of the use of didactic resources and the STC approach present in the DS, analyzing elements that would confer to the didactic sequence and the game, a STC character. It was found that the STC approach associated with the use of the didactic game, contributes significantly to the teaching of chemistry, bringing students closer to the content and motivating them to build knowledge in a playful and efficient way.
