Researchers took all and researchers used in class VIII H as a sample of this study, a total of 31 students and in it there were 13 students and 18 female students. Researchers used vocabulary as a research instrument and this test was carried out before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the application of mentimeter. This research data was processed using SPSS for Windows ver. 25. The average student post-test result was 66,61and the average student post-test result was 82,90.
