This study aims to examine the implementation of the Board Race Game in improving Arabic vocabulary (mufradat) mastery among eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 5 Mojokerto. This research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) involving 20 students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, pre-tests, and post-tests and analyzed descriptively. The findings showed that the implementation of the Board Race Game significantly improved students’ learning outcomes. Learning mastery increased from 20% in the pre-test to 75% in the Cycle II post-test. The average score also improved from 52.4 to 77.8, indicating an increase of 25.4 points. These results suggest that the Board Race Game is an effective alternative strategy for Arabic language learning, particularly in enhancing students’ mufradat mastery and classroom participation. However, this study was limited to a small sample, specific learning material, and a short research period. Further studies involving broader participants and learning contexts are recommended.
