In this article we present the results of a scientific induction research aimed at investigating boliche game as a teaching resource for mathematics education in the early years of basic education, in order to broaden the possibilities of working beyond the standard way of employment of this game. Based on the assumptions of the cultural and cultural theory and the teaching guiding activity, we present mathematics and gaming concepts, linked to the process of learning and developing human psychology. Finally, we set out the development of a learning triggering situation, linking the boliche with different mathematical concepts.
