In the Fantasy ther's that part with the GAINT. I understood that it is for cheking if ther is a chance that the kid will kill him self(יבצע התאבדות). This part didn't had an end , any cup u chose u'll die. but Ender did go thrugh this chalnge (אתגר). any way what really make me wondr iswhen Endr get to the planet where he find the queen and he see the the gaint game take for of a land... how come? and why?

I'm not quite sure I followed that last sentence in your post, but I'll take a crack at what I think the question was.
If I'm remembering the book correctly, The Hive Queen was attempting to communicate with Ender through the Fantasy game. The game was never supposed to get beyond the final decision, so anything after that was formulated by the Hive Queen. She created that image of the sleeping giant to look like a natural land formation on her planet. By doing that, she intended to help Ender recoginze the planet when he arrived.

The hive-queen was communicating with Ender through the Ansible, though it was at an unconscious level for Ender. The giant's game was a very potent image for Ender, so they built the giant and used it as a flag to say to Ender "Look Here".
The hive-queen did not mess with the Giant's game direcly. Jane, on the other hand, gained a lot of her initial personality from it.
