Just create an XML file inside res/menu and inflate it this way

// inside activity
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
    return true;
}

And the XML should be something like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:id="@+id/new_game"
          android:title="@string/new_game"
          android:showAsAction="never"/>
    <item android:id="@+id/help"
          android:title="@string/help"
          android:showAsAction="never"/>
</menu>
