    Abstract. Just a few decades ago the society has been interested in
    the field of children’s rights. For this reason, the society as a whole, has
    been developing strategies to achieve that commitment. As a result, it has
    given more attention to this society segment that is vulnerable. With this
    the society does not pretend to expose the individual in the early stages
    of his life. The way in which children lives is critical in his formation
    when he reaches adulthood. Considering this, every field of study must
    be present with a childhood approach to the early stages of life. Hoping
    to contribute to build better generations. In the area of serious games
    we have better opportunities, because the games are a major part in the
    early stages of life and are present regardless of race, culture, religion or
    social status of the children. The multiple factors involved in shaping the
    character of children are out of his control. They are so many and varied
    that it becomes difficult for a child gets out unscathed. Although it is
    part of the natural formation of each individual processes it differently
    and therefore, is affected in a different way. This paper presents, a serious
    game prototype to be used as an aid in the treatment of children with
    emotional disorder, particularly in children with some sort of depressive
    behavior.
