Based on the data analysis tests, the mean score in the experimental group's pre-test was 52.86 and the control group's mean score is 65.11. After doing the treatment, the students’ mean score of experimental group’s post-test was 85.56, greater than the control group's means score which is 80.44. The comparison of the test of scale describes that t-counted value= 4.35> t-table value= 2.01. Therefore, Ha is confirmed and Ho is rejected. It can be concluded that the implementation of guessing game increases the vocabulary of the grade eight students at SMP Negeri 1 Sojol Utara.
