Abstract
Teaching speaking skills to young learners can be challenging. Games offer an effective and enjoyable approach. This article explores game-based activities to enhance speaking proficiency in young learners. It examines cognitive, social, and emotional aspects, highlighting the positive impact on language acquisition and motivation. Various game types are explored, along with practical suggestions for implementation. By integrating games, educators foster communication skills, creativity, and critical thinking.
