This article explores the use of games as an instructional strategy to enhance English language skills among Remedial Instruction (RI) pupils at SK Sungai Jejawi, Teluk Intan, Perak. The primary aim is to support Year Four RI pupils in acquiring basic English language skills through game-based learning. Data for this study were collected through classroom observations and pre- and post-tests administered before and after the intervention. The pre-test was used to identify the RI pupils, while the post-test measured learning outcomes following the implementation of game-based teaching. The findings indicate that incorporating games into English lessons fosters active learning, improves pupil engagement, and enhances attention span. Moreover, pupils demonstrated a better understanding of simple English concepts when taught using games. The study concludes that games are an effective pedagogical tool for teaching English, particularly for learners in remedial programmes.
