Summary/Abstract: It is generally accepted that games provide a stimulating teaching and learning classroom environment. In spite of their beneficial effect on students, most literature teachers avoid using them in their classes, especially at the academic level, because they tend to consider them to be time-consuming and inappropriate for literature classes. The main purpose of the research is to find students‟ perceptions of using games in literature classes and, starting from the results, to change teachers‟ opinions about the usefulness of game-based activities. Being stimulating for students, games will definitely improve the learning atmosphere in the classroom, and will lead to the development of the skills required by the literature syllabus.
