To solve the problem, an attractive way of learning is required, which games become the solution. One of the games is Whisper and Write Game. This research discusses the use of Whisper and Write Game in facilitating students’ English vocabulary learning. It was intended to find out whether Whisper and Write is effective to improve students’ vocabulary compared with Total Physical Response Technique. Two classes were used. The control was taught by Total Physical Response and the experimental was taught by Whisper and Write Game. Both were given pre-test and post-test in the same difficulty level. The result showed that the mean of control class increased from 52.26 to 58.63 while the mean of experimental class increased from 57.26 to 70.64. It means the students taught by Whisper and Write Game achieved higher improvement than those taught by Total Physical Response. T-test analysis also showed that t-value/t-posttest value (3.617) was higher than t-table value (2.045). It means there was a significant improvement of students’ achievement.
