Language cannot be separated from culture in this case because it represents its 
nation and closely relates to the behavior of groups of language speakers. Games 
have become a good and effective method teachers use to teach and improve writing 
students. One of the Games that can be used to improve students'' writing ability is 
the Charade Game. This study aimed to investigate the Charade Game as a teaching 
tool, particularly for writing descriptive text. This research used a quasi-experimental 
design. According to the non-random sample group, experimental and control groups 
were determined. To test it, two similar target groups were selected. To assess the 
effectiveness of the Charade Game in teaching writing, the researcher used a quasi?experimental design.To begin the process, the researcher administered a pre-test to 
both the experimental and control classes. The Charade Game is used as a treatment 
or experiment by the researcher in one of the classes. The first finding revealed that 
the students'' writing comprehension was taught using the traditional method. The 
researcher found that the students were not active during the learning process and felt 
that the conventional method was monotonous. meanwhile, the students prefer using 
games to learn, which is one of several things that the experimental group''s results 
showed more significantly than the control group. Charade Game could be an 
alternative method for teachers and students in teaching descriptive text writing in 
learning classes, particularly if students felt that the traditional method was 
monotonous and had fewer activities. Charade Game has characteristics that boost 
students'' enthusiasm and creativity when learning English, particularly writing 
comprehension}
