Language acquisition takes place through four basic language activities: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The language activity of listening is the first activity that a child encounters immediately after birth. The child begins to acquire language and communicate with others through the listening to voices from the environment. A developed listening skill enables better communication with others, better results and successes. Many researches (Velički and Peti Stantić, 2009; Aladrović Slovaček, 2011; Pavličević-Franić, Aladrović Slovaček and Ivanković, 2011) showed that children learn by playing and create a positive attitude towards the Croatian language. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of language games on the linguistic activity of listening. A language game is a game whose goal is to improve the language and its content in an interesting and creative way. Problems related to the success and impact of language games of 3rd grade elementary school students were set in accordance with the research. The results of the research showed that the language games influenced the linguistic activity of listening and thus showed a statistically significant success of the experimental group compared to the control group in the linguistic activity of listening.
