The researcher applied a different step order of SCSS when the game was used in the learning activities. Because the activity was a competition, the researcher omitted the third step Circulate and Observe and the fourth step Return and Refine, just the same as the SCSS competition in the third meeting of Cycle 1. There was an improvement related to the students’ behaviors in the activities. The students’ results of card arrangement were also improved.
