Abstract
This study examined the efficiency of using educational electronic games in improving English language skills of
the fourth Elementary grade students in Riyadh region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve the objectives of the
study, two tests were prepared: first, to measure English language skills and the second to measure the electronic
programming that provides appropriate validity and reliability. Afterwards, the programme was applied to the
sample that consisted of 63 female students who were randomly distributed into two samples; one represented the
experimental group (31 students) and the second the control group consisting of 32 students, from those who were
enrolled during the second semester of the academic year 2015-2016. In order to answer the main questions of
the study, means, standard deviations and One-Way- ANOVA were used. The study showed that there are no
significant statistical differences in the English language skills among either group (experimental and control
groups) that are attributed to the method of teaching, for the benefit of the software of the educational electronic
games.
