The process of teaching and learning chemistry is still considered difficult, for even with all the technology available for its improvement, this same issue is responsible for students’ distraction in class. The most common example are smartphones, which are devices that are increasingly versatile and have been inserted into the daily lives of almost all people. The use of mobile devices in the classroom can be a useful alternative for teachers to overcome the difficulties inherent in this process. This paper aims to present the contribution of educational android games in the process of learning organic functions at a public school in the city of Pau dos Ferros (RN). Initially, we use the Google Play Store® platform to check the availability of games dealing with organic chemistry topics. We choose four applications to be used as a supplementary methodology for solving exercises related to organic chemistry. Furthermore, we collected students’ opinions regarding the method used. We observed that these devices when used in a controlled, planned and an appropriate way can contribute to a positive approach to the motivation and interest of students during class.
