Like this four questions will be asked to each team by the teacher, the students will write the different answers in the Flash cards. In this game for I and III question they will write the exact date and year. But for II and IV they can't write the exact year and date, because the playing of game and drinking of tea habit was developed over the time. Now the teacher clearly explain that in the same way in history also, some particular incident was happened one particular day and year like the year a king was crowned, the year he married, the year he fought a particular battle etc. But some incidents like reading a newspaper, drinking tea habit was happened over a period of time, for this we can't say any particular date and year likewise the teacher can elicit responses from the students and explain on the importance of dates with the help of this memory game.
