Comments:
This
is a simple game that can help in hyping up the students’ learning. It is more
suitable to be used to enhance students’ interest in learning English in order
to give the concept of learning English is fun. As mentioned, the choices of
words are limited in which it only focuses on movies’ name. Therefore, to make
it can be used for reviewing, revision or testing students’ knowledge in
Vocabulary, the teacher can alters and varieties the theme of the games such as
themes like Stationary, Country, Animals etc. However, there is less new input
for the students throughout this game as it is too simple.
