Cognitive behavioral, social, emotional, self-reliance, moral values of religion, and language are some aspects of development at this education level. The process of language learning should be intensive and maximal because they have fast-growing language skills. Moreover, the globalization era expects English to be taught at the early childhood education level. Interactive mobile games in smartphone devices can be selected as an alternative media for children language learning. This research develops an android-based education game for early childhood to introduce English vocabulary. Two material and three media experts evaluated the function and feasibility of the developed media. The implementation of the media was done in an experimental class and then compared to the control class. The feasibility of media and material are 84.52%and 83.33%. The different level of vocabulary mastery in the experimental class is 43.68%compared to the control class. It means that the media significantly supports the learning process.
