Annotation: The article explores innovative approaches to teaching English
grammar to young learners, emphasizing the effectiveness of interactive games. It
highlights that traditional methods of grammar instruction are often perceived as
challenging and unengaging for students. To address this, the author suggests task-
based learning, collaborative exercises, technology-enhanced activities, and role-
playing as means to improve student engagement and learning outcomes. These
methods not only make grammar learning more enjoyable but also align with modern
educational demands for practical, communicative language skills. The article
underscores the need for teachers to adapt their methods to foster effective language
acquisition in young learners.
