Annex Elementary School for the academic year 2018-2019. The study sought to answer the query on the performance of the respondents in the pretest and posttest in MAPEH and if there is a significant difference between the two tests in experimental and control groups. The researchers used experimental and qualitative method to determine results and get feedbacks from the students and teachers. The respondents underwent pretest and posttest. The sample consists of two randomly selected Grade 6 classes that will serve as the control and experimental group. Both groups were taught in the subject MAPEH. The experimental group was exposed to different educational games that are adopted and localized like crossword puzzles, Jumbled Letters, Word Hunt, jigsaw Puzzles, Pictionary, Hangman, Educational Bingo, Password, Recall, and Family Feud.

While the mean scores of the students in the control group showed an increase of 65.44% from 10.88 to 18.00. The Standard Deviation of the experimental group decreased by 22.6% after the use of educational games. While the Standard Deviation of the control group decreased by 18.31%. The p-value between the pretest and posttest of the control and experimental group did not exceed the 0.05 level of significance. Hence the use of educational games in classroom instruction were both found effective in improving the learners' academic performance The p-value between the posttests of the control and experimental did not exceed the 0.05 level of significance.
