Summary: | Language games have influenced English learning for many years. Besides from motivating students to learn and improve their retention of the vocabulary taught, educational games also provide good ground to students to practice teamwork. Therefore, educational games should be widely used into the classroom and during the English learning process, especially in Kindergarten as long as children love to play. So it is a good and fun way to teach children. Children learn English unconsciously while they play games. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out about the current implementation of educational games in Teaching English as a Foreign Language by examining the methodologies and strategies faced in the implementation of these games. For this purpose, we have studied and analyzed some concepts, methodologies, and strategies about musical games and applied a lesson plan based on musical games. Based on the investigation and application of games in the classroom, this study has recommended solutions to overcome the need to integrate language games into the learning process. We provide learning advice with a format for helping teachers plan and implement activities that will appeal to the full range of intelligences. Musical Games allow children to engage in active, hands-on, concrete experiences, and ongoing interaction with appropriate objectives, resources, warm ups and assessment in our learning environment. Children have the opportunity to approach learning through one of their high ability levels. Hopefully, this study would provide some useful insights for effective implementation of musical games
