This study was intended to find out the significant effect of Hangman Game toward students’ Vocabulary acquisition at second grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Langsa. This research was an experimental research that conducted at the second grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Langsa on January for four times during the academic year of 2018/2019. The number of the population was 112 students from five classes but the researcher selected 44 students as sample by using simple random sampling.

Based on t-test analysis that was done, it was found that the t-score (22.26) was higher than t-table by using 5% alpha of significance with df 22 + 22 - 2 = 42, it was found ttable = 1,68. Because of tscore > ttable , that was 22.26 > 1,68, so Ha was accepted and Ho was ejected. It meant that experimental group was better that control group after getting treatments. It could be concluded that there was significance of difference between the experimental and control class.
