This study analyzed the effect of Game Based Learning (GBL) assisted by an Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) on elementary school students’ learning retention and storytelling skills. A quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design was employed. The experimental group received GBL assisted instruction through an IFP and digital platforms, while the control group received conventional instruction. The results showed that GBL assisted by IFP significantly improved students’ learning retention and storytelling skills, with very large effect sizes for both outcomes. These findings demonstrate that integrating game-based learning with interactive technology enhances students’ immediate retention of learning content and their ability to communicate ideas orally, indicating its effectiveness in promoting short-term learning gains.
