Abstract: The study conducted at Pattama Darunwit Private School in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand, investigated the effectiveness of communicative games in enhancing vocabulary learning achievement among third-grade students. Using a rigorous research methodology that included clustered sampling, detailed lesson plans, comprehensive data collection, and thorough data analysis, the study provided significant insights into the impact of communicative games on language learning outcomes. The results revealed a substantial improvement in vocabulary learning achievement following the implementation of communicative games. Statistical analyses demonstrated significant increases in post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, highlighting the effectiveness of the instructional intervention. Additionally, high levels of student satisfaction were observed across various dimensions, underscoring the positive perception of communicative games in facilitating language learning. Discussion of the findings indicated that several factors contributed to the success of communicative games, including the structured presentation of vocabulary, repeated exposure through interactive activities, and the motivational aspect of game-based learning. These findings aligned with established theories in memory, cognitive psychology, and language acquisition, providing a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms driving improved language proficiency through communicative games. The high student satisfaction scores further reinforced the positive impact of communicative games on the learning experience, emphasizing the importance of engaging and interactive instructional approaches in fostering effective language acquisition. Building upon these findings, recommendations for future research included longitudinal studies to assess the durability of learning outcomes, comparative analyses with traditional methods, exploration of optimal game design variations, investigation into the differential impact on diverse learner profiles, and cross-disciplinary collaborations to advance theoretical frameworks and instructional strategies. Overall, the thesis concluded that communicative games represented a valuable pedagogical tool for enhancing vocabulary learning achievement among young learners, offering a dynamic and engaging approach to language instruction.
