Characteristics of vocabulary determine the importance of vocabulary teaching and learning. As the foundation of language, vocabulary plays a decisive role, and the mastery of vocabulary depends on mastering the methods of vocabulary learning effectively. Teachers should pay attention to interesting and perse of vocabulary teaching, allowing students to learn and master the vocabulary in a certain language environment. At the same time, teachers should continue to improve teaching methods, all new and effective teaching are worthy of a positive reference and a bold attempt and constantly summarize and use of these to improve the English teaching level, so as to enable students to lay a solid foundation for future learning.
When students just contact with English, they will have a very strong interest and enthusiasm in English learning, otherwise the students will lose interest gradually in English, and even boredom and fear. Therefore, in teaching vocabulary, teachers should pay attention to teaching methods and guide students throughout the vocabulary teaching process. Guide students to memorize words easily by science way, so as to mobilize students’ curiosity and enthusiasm and stimulate their interest in learning English (Thornbury. S. 185).

3.1 Game Method
The game teaching is the teaching method that can change the boring language phenomena into vivid and interesting game form as far as possible, to create a rich language communicative situation for the students, which make the students play and learn. Children educator Hu Shuyi pointed out in his “primary school game teaching method” more than 70 years ago, said: “children like to do things, no one is than the game.” Therefore, the use of games for teaching English classes to improve the effect is very effective (Yu Demin 81).
From a psychological point of view, students’ curiosity and imitation are very strong. Their attention span is not long-lasting, just only twenty minutes. When the classroom teaching can cause students’ interesting in learning, which can fully mobilize students’ intelligence factors and non-intelligence factors, to enable students to focus on learning time longer, better perception, memory, thinking and imagination, and thus more firmly to grasp more knowledge and acquire skills. The game method is applied to teaching practice since ancient times. From ancient Greece, there is no lack of Western discourse on education and the game teaching and the game giving back to teaching practices. German educationist Fredrich Froebel is the first expert to systematically explore the game, in his masterpiece “kindergarten”, he said: “Games are the characteristics of children activities, games and language are composed of factors of children’s life. Through a variety of games, children’s inner action and inner life become separate independent and external self-expression, resulting in happiness, freedom and satisfaction, and maintain the internal and external balance.” The father of modern psychology, Piaget said: “all the intellectual work depends on interest.” For learners, the only thing he was interested in learning will make him have the desire and motivation. Interest and motivation in learning is the powerful source of student learning. “Play is the child’s nature.” In the form of the game to communicate and learn English, which can adds a lot of interesting to teaching English. Albert Einstein said, “Interest is the best teacher.” Interest is a positive and lasting recognize tendency to understand of things, and can enhance memory. Students by nature, they like to play. If there are games to play, and the game can give a pleasant atmosphere to learn the knowledge, it will satisfy both sides. Among the many teaching methods, game teaching method is one of the most effective teaching methods in teaching English vocabulary (Wallace, M.J. 278-330). There are a lot of discussions in China since ancient times in the game teaching. Cheng Yi once said: “If people have no interest when teachers teach them, they will not enjoy learning.” Wang Shouren advocated: “Teaching children, will make the trend of encouraging, center of joy.” 英语词汇教学方法探讨(3):http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_18613.html
