Each cycle consisted of four stages planning the action implementing the action observing the action and reflecting the action. The instruments used to collect the data were observation checklist field notes questionnaire and grammar quizzes. It took two cycles to meet the criteria of success. In Cycle I the implementation of the action was not fully success it was proven by 10 (50%) out of 20 student has score under minimum passing grade of 75. However the criterion of process was met because more than 80% of the students were actively involved in the teaching and learning process. Since the criteria of success for product informed that 75% of students had to reach the minimum passing grade of 75 Cycle II was conducted. The implementation of the action was fully success in Cycle II. The students score was better and had met the criteria of success. In Cycle II after the students use mind-mapping technique they made while they were playing the game 20 (100%) out of 20 students got score above minimum passing grade of 75.
