Chagas disease is still an important public health problem, being considered a neglected tropical disease. From the creation of the School Health Program (PSE), it became necessary to address diseases that affect the Brazilian population in the classroom in order to aggregate knowledge and raise students' awareness. However, the use of Chagas' disease and other neglected diseases still has little representation in the classrooms, making it important to insert new pedagogical strategies to address these issues. The present work had as a proportional objective, for Integrated High School students, a playful tool - the game DIV & AP - Chagas disease - for teaching Chagas disease and its vectors in Brazil. As a result, it is possible to apply a game with the students' improved knowledge in a fun and entertaining way, functioning as a good complement to the teaching activity.Downloads
