Children interact with other children, their parents, and other adults as they acquire language. A child can readily acquire two or more languages at once as long as they are conversing with speakers of those languages on a regular basis.. The purpose of this study is to investigate the connection between the use of offline games and young students' self-esteem in speaking English. The researchers' interpretation of the children's written material served as the foundation for the majority of this study's conclusions. In terms of enhancing self-esteem, the data analysis showed numerous evident benefits for all students. The students were free to exercise their independence and display qualities about themselves. ESL students had the same opportunity to compete with their classmates for the limited time that they took part in these activities.
