English language for children starts from introducing vocabulary that is closest to the child, the goals to make it easier for children to remember.
One way to maximal comprehension by giving learning fun involves learning with the game.
The research resulted in an English game application based on android.
In this application, there are education and game features.
The education features an exciting good and gets the sound from the lesson that is available.
Game features available are guessed pictures, guess sounds, and puzzles.
The purpose of English edugame application to teach children vocabulary of English and make children not bored to learn.
