    Dear Casilda,
    Thank you for sharing this interesting Kahoot about Excalibur. Students love competition and games, so this will motivate them to read the story. I'm sure that the more they learn about Arthur and Excalibur, the more they will be encouraged to read and research further. Additionally, the games you linked are a great way to improve their memory skills and reinforce the concepts in a fun way.
