Games during school hours not only help them gain knowledge of words but help them consolidate and deepen their knowledge. When teachers offer games in English classes on a regular basis, the quality of teaching English will improve day by day.
II.PROBLEM SOLVING
	1.Rationale
Today on the mass media appears a lot of games to attract television audiences, especially young audience, such as pupils, students.
‘’All games, music and television programs, if asked: "Tell me the name of the game, the television music show that you know ?" They will answer one rim wall as a millionaire, games play music, we are soldiers, because this is the most loyal audiences [3].
From the current situation in order to improve the quality of English courses I have taken the initiative boldly "Organizing a game to improve the quality of English for students in grade 3" with the hope to contribute a small part to improving the quality of learning in English for students in grade 3.
2. State of the research problem
The majority of students at Hoang Luu primary school are not pay attention and investment to foreign languages​​, prepare a sketchy way, to deal in very weak when they learn this subject. Since, They have some boring school psychology department English. During school hours, the majority of them are usually passive, lack of flexibility, problems reading – speaking English and participating at speaking lesson to learn.
Some students at Hoang Luu primary school learn better, hardworking and self learning, learning conscious, they are willing to learn and the ability to acquire all requirement. Besides still having a significant number of students have not learned their mother tongue well and still less attention to students in English. Students may not complete documentation for self – learning and fostering more.
However, Hoang Luu is located in the district, the majority of parents are working away leaving their children at home with their grandparents. The collaboration between parents and teacher is limited. Most parents are farmers and workers. So educational level and economic are low. They are busy with their works. They do not time to interest, mentoring, rubbing, urging their learning and the parents said that :English in primary school is only electives therefore both parents and students are not interested in this subject, they only invest in raising their children learn Maths, Vietnamese.
Although English is the primary elective course, it has important properties beginning in the next school year in grade 2. So it holds a significant role in the learning process of the children. It equips them vocabulary, grammar and sentence patterns minimal, basic, simplest revolves around the theme very close, was their favorite and familiar, is the point of introducing all relatives, friends school topics, family topics, and other topics (the world around them). Therefore, to inspire and reinforce students' knowledge is an extremely important work often. Because this affects a lot more motivated students, a basic factor to impact the process of learning a language and the consolidation of knowledge also inculcate over the corpus of the lessons learned in a systematic way, as a solid foundation to help them learn better, more confident in the learning process later.
For the quality of their courses to achieve the best results it is not an easy thing. So how do they form and develop learning skills most comprehensive? How do I love them, inculcate knowledge of foreign cultures? In any way to help students understand that not all solid boring, to truly charismatic, playful atmosphere in class comfort, inspire students to absorb foreign culture that they themselves unknown.
Specifically,in the beginning of the year I have examined the quality of 67 students in grade 3 of Hoang Luu Primary School, results are as follow :

After survey results, I have proposed and implemented solutions, the following specific methods to improve the quality of teaching.
