The investigative approach employed a quasi-experimental framework involving fifty-eight motivated seventh-grade pupils from MTs Al-Muttaqin Rengging, who were systematically allocated into treatment and comparison cohorts. Information gathering was conducted using initial and final assessments consisting of multiple-choice vocabulary items to monitor learners' academic development precisely. The treatment cohort experienced instruction via dynamic and entertaining Pictionary activities, whereas the comparison cohort followed traditional pedagogical approaches throughout six instructional sessions. The results showed a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.000 \u003C 0.05), with the experimental group's average score (88.50) considerably higher than that of the control group (70. 73). Both groups experienced significant improvement, but the experimental group showed greater overall improvement. The conclusion of the study clearly proves that the Pictionary game is significantly more effective than conventional methods in improving students'vocabulary mastery.  \nKeywords  \nPictionary Game; Teaching Vocabulary; Junior High School  \nI. Introduction  \nIn the language learning process, mastery of words is the main basis for understanding the meaning of sentences. The more words you master, the more effective learning can take place. Vocabulary is part of the language domain (content) and forms the basis for understanding and producing communication messages, so mastery of vocabulary is very important in a child's development. This is because good language skills support reading skills, improve reading comprehension, strengthen social skills, and train problemsolving skills, which ultimately contribute to academic achievement (Bruce & Bell, 2022) . Vocabulary is generally recognised as the primary means of communication (Dakhi & Fitria, 2019) . The mastery of vocabulary serves as a fundamental component in developing literacy skills, particularly for students acquiring English as a second language, who encounter the complex task of simultaneously acquiring linguistic competence and comprehending scholastic subjects. A strong lexical foundation proves crucial not merely for advancing reading and writing abilities, but equally for facilitating meaningful interpersonal exchanges and enabling comprehension of sophisticated educational texts (Zeng et al., 2025) . Inadequate vocabulary knowledge limits English language learners'ability to engage with academic texts, hindering both language fluency and content mastery. Vocabulary mastery has become a fundamental necessity for global students, including those in Indonesia, to achieve success in English learning.  \nDOI: [https://doi.org/10.33258/birci.v8i3.8111](https://doi.org/10.33258/birci.v8i3.8111) 452  \nHowever, in practice that numerous middle school learners continue to struggle with English lexical acquisition, evidenced by their restricted capacity to understand written passages, construct grammatically correct statements, and articulate thoughts through spoken communication. (Asyiah, 2017; Komalasari, 2022; Saridevita et al., 2022) . This is supported by (Katemba & Br Barus, 2024) research, which states that the main obstacles to speaking include the habit of using the mother tongue in class, grammatical errors, limited vocabulary, fear of making mistakes, and a lack of opportunities to practise outside of school.
