Race Game to Improve Students’ Vocabulary. The population of this research is the
seventh-grade students of UPT SMPN 2 Tana Lili in the academic year 2020/2021.
The researcher used cluster random sampling with 22 samples. The method of this
research is a pre-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test design. Then the
researcher analyzed the data by using Statistical Product and Service Solution
(SPSS). The findings of this research show that there is significant difference
between the mean scores in pre-test and post-test. The result showed that the mean
score of the pre-test is 39.91 and in the post-test is 84.41. Furthermore, it also can be
seen by comparing the result of the t-test where the p-value (0.00) is smaller than the
significance level α (0.05) or 0.00<0.05. It can be concluded that the Null Hypothesis
(H0) is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (H1) is accepted. It means that using
Board Race Game can improve students’ vocabulary, it can be proven by the result
of pre-test and post-test. Therefore, the researcher concluded that the use of the
Board Race Game is effective to improve students’ vocabulary in terms of adjectives,
