The teaching of English grammar has long been considered a challenging aspect of language instruction, often perceived as tedious by both teachers and learners. However, integrating games and interactive activities into grammar lessons has proven to be an effective pedagogical strategy, enhancing student engagement and retention. This paper explores the role of games and activities in teaching English grammar, focusing on their ability to foster a dynamic and learner-centered environment. By transforming grammar exercises into fun, context-driven tasks, students are encouraged to practice grammar rules in authentic, communicative contexts, thus promoting both cognitive and affective learning. The paper examines a range of game-based methods, including role-playing, grammar-based board games, and digital applications, highlighting their benefits in motivating learners, facilitating active participation, and providing immediate feedback. Additionally, it discusses the theoretical underpinnings of game-based learning and the importance of balancing structured grammar instruction with flexible, interactive approaches. The findings suggest that when effectively incorporated into the curriculum, games and activities can significantly improve grammatical understanding and language acquisition outcomes.
