Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of word games in enhancing vocabulary development in the context of Primary School Algerian English teachers . A questionnaire was administered to 30 Primary school English teachers in M'sila Wilaya to gather insights into their attitudes and practices regarding the use word games. The findings indicate that Word Match and Word Search are the most commonly used word games, followed by Hangman and Taboo. Teachers reported adapting games to meet pupils' needs and faced challenges such as large class sizes and limited materials. Strategies to enhance pupil participation included visual aids, rewards, and group work. The study highlights benefits like accelerated vocabulary enrichment, increased motivation, and improved learning outcomes. The findings suggest implications for EFL teaching, including teacher training, integrating word games into grammar instruction, and providing age-appropriate materials for primary schools. This research informs educators, curriculum designers, and policymakers in optimizing the use of word games to enhance vocabulary acquisition in primary school settings.
