The protection of the environment should be one of the central ideas to consider for educational systems all over the world. In this regard it is important for the Physical Culture professionals to instruct and develop values for the protection of the environment and promote sustainable development with recreational environmental feelings from recreational activities in the community. Constituting a response to the current needs, from time to time some proposals are introduced to adjust the environmental educational programs potential for the environment, for the benefit of the social and natural heritage to be one of the dimensions of the environment, which demands their knowledge, development and protection. Throughout the research process methods of different levels were used: theoretical, empirical and mathematical. Based on the favorable results obtained with the application of the method of consultation to specialists it is considered feasible and a contribution to social practice. Its novelty lies in exploiting the potential of ecological recreational games to arouse the environmentalist feelings in children aged 9-11 years in the community.
