The control group was 30 students and either the experimental group. So, the sample of this research was 60 students. the The data collected were analyzed by using t-test formula to find whether any effect of using physical line-up game on students’ grammar achievement at the eleventh grade of SMAN 3 Pamekasan. The result of this study showed that t-value ( ) is higher than t-table ( ) either 5% or 1% where (5% = 1,67 < 3,33) or (1% = 2,39 < 3,33). But in this case, the researcher used significant on 5% (5% = 1,67 < 3,33). Thus, it can be concluded that Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) was accepted and the Ho (Null Hypothesis) was rejected. So, the effect was far in achieving the student’s ability of grammar comprehension by using physical line-up game.   Abstrak: Penelitian ini menerapkan desain eksperimen dengan pendekatan kuantitatif.
