Abstract
This paper presents the use of games as a strategy for teaching the principles of environmental
education, focusing on preserving the rivers and streams of Manaus, polluted daily. The research is
qualitative, using indirect documentation for data collection, based on articles and websites that
address the subject. After the survey were listed the main points about environmental education,
water pollution and how to use digital games for environmental awareness. The concepts were applied
in the construction of a game prototype that warns about the importance of river preservation and
how to avoid pollution. The aim is to achieve this through the simple and dynamic language that games
can offer, while at the same time alerting about this environmental cause, focusing on children from
six to ten years old, because they have more interaction with the games and are in their age of critical
opinion formation. Research has found that water is an important resource, but it is still not preserved
as it should. Nevertheless, the combination of gaming entertainment with environmental awareness
concepts has proved to be a good alternative to combat the problem.
Keyword: Defense in River; Water Pollution; Preservation; Environmental Education.
