This final project was about “the use of circle games as a strategy to improve vocabulary achievement of seventh grade students at SMPN 1 Puding Besar”, in academic year 2023/2024. The objective of the study was to describe what circle game was like and how it worked in the learning process and to find out the students’ achievement in vocabulary. It was expected that this study would be useful for English teachers and their students in the language learning process. the result of the study showed that the students’ progress in mastering vocabulary during the activity was really good. The achievement of the students in learning vocabulary through this way was improved. The main factor that affected this improvement was the students really interested in learning English through circle game. I suggested that the use of circle game can be an alternative way to teach the language learner, especially to improve the students’ vocabulary. This result hopefully would motivate language teacher to use circle game in teaching English in the classroom, especially when teaching English vocabulary to the level of elementary school students.
