After conducting surveys and applying games into teaching at two schools for hearing loss students, we realized that there are significant improvements in terms of vocabulary and grammar structures used by hearing loss students during their very first years at primary schools. Based on the psychological characteristics and the knowledge of sign language, we propose to bring the appropriate games into teaching.These types of games have a positive effect on children's learning process as they help to create an exciting atmosphere in class, and help children remember sign language as well as Vietnamese vocabulary, etc,.

More advanced general and abstract types of games for Deaf children will be our research aims in the future if time and other conditions are suitable.
