They were chosen by usingSimple Random Sampling technique. Experimental group was treated by Memory Tricks game and control group was treated by Verb Search game. The instrument that was used objective test in forms of completion items test. Then, the scores were analyzed by using statistical analysis. It showed the mean score of experimental group was 76 while the mean score control group was 69.2 and the value of t (t test) = 2,7922 was higher than the value of  (t table) = 1.9955 at the significance level of 0.05% and the number of degree freedom (68).
