In order to solve the deficiencies identified in the English vocabulary, a class system was designed and applied based on the use of recreational games. The results obtained were subjected to hypothesis testing by applying inferential statistics with the CHI SQUARE test as a technique that allowed to prove the effectiveness of the system of activities in relation to the increase of the students' English vocabulary
