Vocabulary development is a crucial aspect of language acquisition, particularly for young learners. Traditional methods of teaching vocabulary, such as rote memorization and flashcards, often fail to engage students and can lead to disinterest and boredom. Interactive games, on the other hand, offer a dynamic and stimulating approach to vocabulary learning that can capture the attention of young minds and promote effective retention. This thesis explores the effectiveness of interactive games in enhancing vocabulary acquisition among young learners. It examines various game-based strategies, their benefits, and their impact on student engagement, motivation, and vocabulary knowledge. Additionally, the thesis delves into the challenges associated with implementing interactive games in the classroom and provides recommendations for overcoming these challenges.
