Resumen
The objective is based on exploring the impact of the use of online educational games in comparison with traditional classroom methods to teach English vocabulary to eighth grade students at Mercedes Vázquez Correa School. Quantitative approach with a participation of 13 students. By means of a vocabulary retention test, results were obtained showing that students remember a greater amount of vocabulary by means of traditional methods; however, students remember a greater amount of words accurately with the use of online games. In addition, the survey data reveal that students are comfortable with online games and that they prefer to learn vocabulary through online games rather than through drawings or flashcards in class.
