This diploma thesis deals with the use of games in the Czech upper primary EFL classroom. In the theoretical part, the author attempts to categorise games in general, as well as at a pedagogical level and to characterise the methodology of using games in English language lessons at upper primary level. In the practical part, the author, through quantitative research, focuses on the real use of games by teachers of English at upper primary level, using surveys to find out whether games are used to teach at upper primary level, to what extent and for what purpose. Through the use of a survey addressed to pupils of upper primary schools, the author aims to find out whether there is a general interest in playing games during English lessons and whether games are seen as a meaningful tool for learning English. Qualitative research by means of interviews and observations aims to find out how demanding the preparation and implementation of games in English language teaching is and the extent to which participants, both pupils and teachers, perceive its meaningfulness. KEYWORDS Educational game, teaching English at upper primary school, didactic game, teenagers, young adolescents
