In learning any language, vocabulary is both the most important and the hardest skill to
master. As a result, teachers should be aware of the techniques they use to help their students,
in our sample third-year middle school students, in solving issues and enhancing their
understanding of foreign language items. The purpose of this study is to see how effective
games are in helping students learn English vocabulary. In other words, this study aims at
exploring the relation between using language games and vocabulary development for third
year middle school pupils. To achieve the mentioned objectives a study is conducted; it is
based on the analysis of data gathered from a questionnaire devoted to teachers, and interview
for pupils. Moreover, the questionnaire explores teacher’s perception to the usefulness of
games as a technique for teaching vocabulary; whereas, the interview collects information
about their reaction. Finally, language games should be used in the study of English
vocabulary in order to develop students' results and achievements.
