Teaching-aid tools in chemistry using card games are designed to make learning fun and interactive. These games use cards with chemistry contents such as elements, compounds, or reactions to help students learn through play. Moreover, the games can also involve matching, sorting, or problem-solving, making it a lively way for students to understand and apply chemistry concepts. In our work, we are developing a card game named DUO&KEY, inspired by the popular and traditional card game Donkey. This card game's objective is to improve students' comprehension on the concept of covalent bonding covered in Chemistry Textbook Form 4, Chapter 5 (Chemical Bonds). This card game consists of 38 cards total, particularly comprised of diatomic molecules such as H₂, N₂, O₂, F₂, Br₂ and I₂ to make up the pair card with different colours and Uranium (U) to act as the “Donkey”. Students can enhance their knowledge of the chemical bonds between elements especially by learning the type of bonding (single, double or triple bonds) and a ton of other interesting facts not covered in the KSSM textbook by playing this game. This chemistry-themed card game is developed for students from Foundation 1 to Level 2 at Kolej PERMATA Insan to enhance their understanding of key concepts. Future work includes creating a survey to assess the game's effectiveness in improving students' grasp of chemistry, focusing on concept retention, problem-solving skills, and interest in the subject. The survey results will guide further refinement and integration of the game into educational settings.
