Specific Background Junior high school students often experience difficulties in acquiring and retaining verbs and nouns when instruction relies on conventional memorization-based approaches.

Aims This study aims to examine the use of Word-Guess Bouquet as an interactive medium for learning English verbs and nouns among junior high school students. Results The findings indicate that the implementation of Word-Guess Bouquet supports students’ vocabulary mastery by encouraging active participation, collaborative learning, and contextual application of words. Students demonstrated improved ability to distinguish and use verbs and nouns during learning activities. Novelty This study introduces a bouquet-shaped visual learning medium that combines guessing, classification, and contextual sentence use within a game-based format. Implications The results suggest that integrating creative, student-centered media such as Word-Guess Bouquet can support vocabulary instruction in EFL classrooms and provide practical insights for teachers seeking interactive alternatives to traditional vocabulary teaching.
