Summary/Abstract: The method of a game as a tool in teaching Chemistry is described in the paper. The example is given based on a lesson fragment where the elements of a game are used by elementary school pupils who can acquire the skills of using solubility table by learning to compose the formulas of chemical substances. The method allows pupils to understand the structure of substances and secure their skills to use the solubility table practically. Therefore, it is easier to learn Chemistry in the future.
