This study investigates the impact of guessing games in enhancing vocabulary mastery among elementary school students. Given the essential role of vocabulary in mastering a foreign language, effective teaching methods are crucial. Traditional methods such as Textbook-centric learning often fail to engage young learners, leading to a lack of interest and poor retention. This research there are 24 participants from fifth-grade students, utilizing a pre-test and post-test experimental design to evaluate vocabulary improvement. The study employed quantitative methods, administering a pre-test to assess initial vocabulary knowledge, followed by a series of guessing game sessions as the treatment, and concluding with a post-test to measure the impact of the intervention. Statistical analysis of the pre-test and post-test scores revealed a significant increase in vocabulary mastery after giving the treatment with guessing games, with the average score rising from 60.6875 to 86.6667.
