At present, the depletion of natural resources is projected to increase the challenges of humanity with the scarcity of fresh water and the loss of biodiversity. Green Chemistry (GQ) can be defined as the management of chemical products and processes that are intended to reduce or eliminate the use of hazardous substances in the environment. Basic education students must be educated on the concept of sustainable chemistry. To achieve a better understanding, students must create a critical and participatory sense of the complexity of social challenges, such as the environmental impact caused by anthropic action. Didactic games are a tool for the inclusion of students, immersing them in everyday situations and their reflexions.The present work aims to develop a question board game on the subject under study, and in this way, it will be possible to discuss attitudes and sensitise students in reducing environmental impacts. The board is a quiz game and contains 41 spaces filled with questions related to the following themes: sustainability, sustainable development, conscious consumption, and biodiversity. With the application of the game, it is expected that students will develop a better understanding of the environmental impacts caused by attitudes due to anthropic action due to lack of knowledge about sustainability.
