The purpose of this work is to find out the application of word games and their effect on students' learning outcomes when learning new vocabulary at Mts Zainul Hasanain Islamic boarding school in the 2020/2021 academic year. This study was conducted in three periods. The use of word games as a method of teaching English vocabulary begins with the previous actions of the teacher when opening the lesson, preparing word game tasks and communicating the objectives of the material. Then the teacher applies word games in the main activity. The teacher gives instructions on the rules and operation of the word games. In the final task, the teacher asks the students to express their difficulties and problems while making a word game. A later observation is that the learning results of students increase with each cycle, where only five students, or 20%, passed the preparatory cycle using conventional methods. In the first episode, we learned through pun methods. The number of students who reached the final threshold increased to 16, or 6 percent. In the last period, all students can take the post-test using the same method. This shows that the use of pun methodology in the delivery of vocabulary learning materials has significantly improved learning outcomes.
