Based on studies of authors who cite the games as an important forum for expression, social interaction, thinking and communication and foster self-esteem of children and internalizing behaviors of the social group in which it operates. We evaluated 15 students (9 boys and 6 girls) participated in the Sports Program workshops since February 2008, the study period was from August to December (21 lessons). A questionnaire was applied to closed two teachers from the classroom and used the logbook the teacher to observe the behavior in the classroom before and after the experiment, to record the number of fights.
