The reason for teaching speaking to students is because it belongs to the basic language skill in English. In speaking classes, the teacher usually give a dialogue of a certain topic, then the students are being to practice and memorize the dialogue with their friends and finally present the dialogue in front of the class in turn. It means that to understand the dialogue, the students must have the ability in vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Because of that, speaking is very important to be taught to the students.This study aimed to find out whether the use of guessing game is effective. The sample of the study consist of 27 students in one class. The data in this research were conducted by using pre-test and post-test.
