Abstract	Although game based learning has been widely utilized by the military, education, marketing, and advertising sectors, its effectiveness as a learning strategy or training tool is still unclear (Ariffin, Oxley, & Suliman, 2014). The present study addresses this gap and examines the effectiveness of using game based learning in primary school instruction, particularly in Trinidad and Tobago where little research has been conducted at the primary and pre-school levels. This study employs a mixed-methods research approach and is made of (1) a quantitative questionnaire for teachers and (2) interviews with teachers to get their views/perspectives on the benefits or effects of game based learning to the teaching and learning processes. Data findings from the current study should begin to fill in the research gap with respect to using game based learning as an effective teaching and learning strategy in Trinidad and Tobago's primary schools.
