Abstract(s)

Health promotion and education is especially important during childhood. Considering that children know the main hygiene care, but do not always have information regarding their importance, an intervention on this theme was carried out with a group of 10 children with an average age of 8 years, which aimed to motivate participants to perform hygiene acts. The activity was based on three sequential steps: introduction of fundamental concepts; exploration of the main groups of microorganisms and diseases; multiple choice games and crossword puzzles. During the session, attention and interest in the contents were notable, through the participation of the children. In the games, they demonstrated an excellent responsiveness and willingness to interact with all players. This intervention addressing various teaching-learning methodologies proved to be enriching and allowed the acquired transversal and specific skills to be acquired in several areas.
