Game Idea:
Sentence Making - When using flashcards, remember to always try to make an interactive story line where the characters are doing or showing or seeing the words. Then, try to always expand the vocabulary learning by adding to the story line. ,e.g., I get up at 6:00 in the morning….so the students will see flashcards I/ get up/ 6:00/in the morning, the word ‘at’ will be written in front of the flashcards, so students will understand where and when we place grammar to make a sentence.
