This study explores how gamification—using game design
elements in non-game contexts—can be effectively utilized to
develop language skills in early childhood education. By analyzing
motivational tools such as badges, points, storytelling, and
interactive challenges, the paper evaluates their impact on
vocabulary acquisition, speaking, listening, and basic reading skills.
The research aims to provide practical insights into integrating
gamification into early learning environments to enhance
engagement and outcomes.
