Colheita do saber um jogo que ensina as crianças, sem esquecer da diversão e relaxamento

Abstract

In Brazil, illiteracy among children and young people still represents a significant challenge, with approximately 29% of the population exhibiting functional illiteracy, according to UNICEF (2024). This study describes the conception, planning, and development of the mobile game Colheita do Saber, designed to promote learning among children and adolescents in Mathematics, Portuguese, and English. The game development followed the agile Personal Scrum methodology and was implemented on the Unity platform, based on theories of serious games, gamification, and pedagogical approaches focused on literacy and basic learning. The project structured the game through minigames that encourage the reinforcement of concepts in a playful, interactive, and motivating way, using elements of fun to engage students. Although the game does not replace the classroom, it serves as a complementary educational resource capable of supporting parents and teachers in the learning process. Furthermore, the project highlights potential future expansions, including the implementation of adaptive learning, additional content, and improvements in the user experience.
