<![CDATA[English vocabulary learning for elementary school students plays an important role in building basic language skills, particularly through mastery of everyday words such as family members. Preliminary observation of third-grade students at Songserms Sasana Vitaya School, Southern Thailand, showed that most students could write the correct vocabulary after introduction, yet some still confused mother and father with other family terms. This community service activity aimed to use a finger-shaped worksheet as a visual medium to help students recognize and write family-member vocabulary while increasing engagement and motivation. The activity employed the Service Learning (SL) approach through direct experiential learning. Results indicated that the majority of students correctly identified and wrote all five vocabulary items after the activity, and students demonstrated high enthusiasm during the hands-on worksheet task. The finger-shaped worksheet proved to be a simple, concrete, and engaging medium that supports vocabulary learning and fosters positive learning motivation among young learners. The contribution of this program lies in offering an easily replicable low-cost visual medium that can be adapted by elementary English teachers in similar contexts.
