Lingua Leap, Interactive Learning Tool, Critical Thinking SkillsAbstract
The Lingua Leap Board Game is an interactive learning tool designed for senior high school students. It aims to break the traditional divide between learning and playing by turning study into a fun and competitive game. In this game, players actively interact with learning materials (cards containing questions and answers) and also their opponents. Each challenge offers rewards for success and penalties for failure. There are consequences for both correct and incorrect answers, and players must think strategically as the game unfolds. This board game not only helps students improve their understanding of grammar but also develops their critical thinking skills. It encourages them to think quickly, work together, make decisions, enjoy the learning process, and experience education as something dynamic and alive
