This problem may affect their ability to achieve learning goals. Meanwhile, Bingo games known as a helpful learning media to enhance students’ vocabulary achievement. Based on this, the research aimed to find out whether there is a significant difference in students’ vocabulary achievement between those taught using the Bingo game and those taught using a Crossword Puzzle at the seventh grade of SMP Negeri 14 Banjarmasin.

This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. Fifty-five students were selected through cluster sampling and divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group.
