1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The reasons of choosing topic:
Nowadays with the trend of development and economic integration
between the countries in the region and the world, the use of English in
communication has become extremely popular and important. In recent years
English has been taught in most schools as an elective subject. Yet, it is the
basis, the premise for children to learn these subjects well in secondary school
and higher levels.We want the primary students to be good at English, each
teacher not only impart, explained according to the documents available in
textbooks, in the manual and the design of a lecture We make students learn
passively. With such teaching, the learning of students will take place very
monotonous, boring and the learning results will be limited. It is one of the
causes obstructing their training into the dynamic, confident, creative people
which willing to adapt to the new change on a daily occurrence.
Language acquisition for primary school learners is an important step in
becoming effective students and communicators. Educaters cannot offord to
oversee the significance of acquired and used by primary students if teachers
include games and play in their teaching .
Through games,teachers can enhance motivation and stimulate further
interest. Also, using appropriate games , teachers can help students build selfesteem and self- confidence , such important elements when dealing with second
language learning .Children are said to be natural learners of a foreign language
because they can learn it quickly and easily . But for teachers who have taught
children this is not completely true : children are able to pick up language
quickly; however they are likely to forget it quickly , too.The reason for this
could be that a young child faces and has lots of new things and experiences
each day .A child is thought to operate pragmatically: she or he only remembers
the important things . When a child gets to live in a foreign community she or he
needs to learn the languge quickly for communicating and making friends .
Games can focus on various skills , grammar, listening , speaking,
writing,reading, pronunciation, so they can be extremly complex. Games also
help the teachers to create contexts in which the language is useful and
relevant classroom exercises appear to be necessity if real understanding and
acquisition is to take place. For games are activities with rules, a goal to achieve,
and an element of fun; they seem to be challenging and interesting enough to
keep the young students occupied and eager to complete the task. The majority
of activities, which are found in resourceful materials for teachers, are based on
the belief that the games children enjoy and are interested in playing outside the
classroom can be adapted and exploited for use in the English language classes.
Furthermore, as they use English for real purposes, they make the children play
and learn at the same time. Moreover, games help to create a context in which
children’s attention is focused on the completion of a task without realising that
language items are being practised. As a result, language learning takes place in
a context that children can directly relate to. However, it is always necessary to
keep in mind the interests and needs of the learners. Games can provide a
valuable learning experience in which the children practise and revise language
only if they are carefully chosen, according to students’ styles of learning.
On the other hand, it is noteworthy that games like any other activity or tool can
be overused when exploited too much so that the motivating element disappears
rapidly.
1.3 The object of the topic:
Students in grade 3 at Thi Tran Primary School .Choose class 3A and 3B
with 75 students
1.4 Researching methods of the subject :
To research a topic, people often choose many different methods. With this
topic, I use the following meth
1 / Theoretical research method :I read the conducting material issues related to
my research needs.

attractive, learning opportunities more varied.
The learning game is not only the means but also the methods of
education.
So I have used the method "Using some games in teaching English in grade
3" in the teaching process in the past year.
2.2 Reality matters:
Being a teacher, I love my job, love my children so I always study the
psychology of primary school age children (especially pupils in grade 3). They
are also at the age of eating, sleeping and the giddy. They remember fast but
forget quickly, especially with English subject which is a fascinating subject but
different from their mother tongue, so they do not have the help when they do
not understand at home. They can only study with teachers and friends in class,
3
the fact that I teach in rural schools, many parents do not understand deeply the
importance and necessity of the English subject and only focus on natural
subjects like Mathematics, Vietnamese ...
The majority of students do not pay to foreign languages, they prepare
the lesson very sparingly, to deal when they learn this subject very bad. Since
then, a number of children with psychological bored with learnning English.
During school hours, the majority of them are usually passive, lack of flexibility,
afraid of reading - saying English and participate in learning lessons very little.
Therefore making interest and consolidating students' knowledge is an
extremely important and regular work. Because this affects a lot of to the
students, a fundamental factors affecting the process of learning a language:
To having the learning quality of the children achieve the best results, it is
not an easy thing. So how do they form and develop learning skills most
comprehensive? How do they love, deepen their knowledge of the lesson? By
any way to help students understand the lesson but not boring, I think that the

After that I conducted the survey to interest in their learning.
Therefore, the role and responsibilities of teachers not only teach English
but need to continuously study and apply the methods of innovation and
creativity. Teachers should build a learning English environment friendly.
Students can participate in meaningful comunicating activities through the
intresting game activities.
Teaching to the communicating method encourages students to practice
lessons under the situation that learning is playing, playing is learning. This
view makes them see learning English as a game, they will remember the lesson
very quickly.
2.3 Solution and organizing the implementation:
2.3.1 The general solution:
- Observe the actual situation of students.Talk with them to find out the feeling,
aspirations, problems ... they meet in the process of learning English.
- Study materials, books, magazines newspapers education ... read textbooks,
teacher ‘s books... and prepare the suitable games.
- Attend and exchange experiences with colleagues.

not get ...
- How to confirm the results and scoring play, the solution of the game. (If any)
Step 3: Conduct game
Step 4: - End game :Teachers or arbitration commented on the attitude of each
participating team game, not good thing of the team to learn from experience.
Encouragements fine quibble, the Rules that accept players relaxed and
voluntarily make the game more attractive, stimulating students' learning. Purish
students with the game rules simple but fun form as: Applause, hop, sing a song,
or greet you win, ...

if the teacher begin with the word "Simon says".
-The teacher said, "Simon says: Stand up." Students will have to stand up.

efficiently.
- Draw a simple picture illustrates the need to review some of the words on A4
paper and put into a stack. (You can use the stock picture from teaching).
- For a student to select a picture (not for the other students to see the content of
the picture).
- The other students guess what it is contested by asking questions:
"Is this a / an ...........?"
- Students who guess correctly will be encouraged by point or clap cheer.
For example: on the location of the school. (Unit 7: That’s my school ) [5]

Above are some games I often use in teaching English in grade 3 Thi
Tran Primary school. However, depending on the lessons that I have selected
some othe games to organiz for students to play. So the lesson becomes more
interesting, more attractive, student learning more exciting. I think with
elementary school age children, if lessons regularly used the game will inspire
students and make them see that this is an interesting subject.

To achieve high results in the teaching and learning of English I have
some proposals as follows:
- Providing more the reference for English teaching and learning new
programs.
- Superiors provide more the facilities, equipment and teaching aids such
as pictures, radio, tape, CD player, projector ... for teaching and learning.
- Opening seminar classes to exchange experiences in the process of
teaching and learning among teachers in the district together
Because researching time is limited, I am looking forward to remarking
from experts and colleagues so that I have an experience initiative better.
Sincerely thank you!
