Résumé

This study aims to explore the impact of educational games on the development of language skills in kindergarten children by analyzing the role of games as an effective educational tool that enhances a child's ability to express, understand, and communicate. The importance of this study lies in its academic relevance, as it contributes to enriching the educational literature on early childhood education, its practical value by supporting educators in the use of effective tools within the classroom, and its societal significance by helping establish a solid linguistic foundation for children, which reflects positively on their future communication and academic performance. The study adopted an experimental methodology by implementing a set of educational games on a sample of kindergarten children and measuring the improvement in their language skills before and after the intervention, using observation and assessment tools appropriate for their age group. The results showed a statistically significant difference in language skill levels in favor of the children exposed to educational games, particularly in verbal expression and linguistic interaction skills. The study concludes by recommending the integration of educational games into kindergarten curricula and the training and guidance of teachers on how to use them systematically and thoughtfully to achieve the desired language development goals.
