The teacher would first present the video, then he/she would make a reading exercise on the new information, and as a practice, he/she could apply this challenging game. Students love working in teams and challenge with each other, therefore this Internet game can be of great use in capturing students attention.3. Worksheets and match games on vocabulary words are also useful tools in teaching language. Teaching lessons based on history is not an easy task, therefore the teacher should provide students matching games on historical vocabulary words to use in the future terms denoting history. 4.
