The purpose of this article is to introduce a type of gamification to strengthen Sarf (morphology), in addition to tracking improvement in Sarf competency after implementing the gamification method at Miri National Religious Secondary School (SMKAMi) in the 2017 Malaysian Certificate of Examination (SPM).

The data obtained were transcribed in writing and descriptively analysed. Research findings show an improved achievement in Arabic language subject of the 2017 SPM by 1.09 with Average Grade of Subjects (GPMP) of 3.64 compared to 4.73 of the previous year. Research results show that the gamification method can resolve student weakness in Sarf, especially in remembering the verb and noun patterns and their derivatives, besides increasing student engagement, creating fun and fostering a positive attitude through game activity.
