<![CDATA[Learning concentration is one of the important factors that influence the success of the learning process. However, during the learning process in the fifth grade of SDN 139 Pekanbaru, there were still students who paid less attention to the teacher's explanation, easily lost their focus, were less active during learning activities, and showed low enthusiasm in participating in classroom learning. One of the efforts made by the teacher to overcome these problems was implementing ice breaking activities during the learning process. This study aimed to describe the implementation of ice breaking in improving the learning concentration of fifth-grade students at SDN 139 Pekanbaru. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of the fifth-grade teacher and fifth-grade students at SDN 139 Pekanbaru. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that ice breaking activities were implemented through Tepuk Semangat and the 7 Habits of Great Indonesian Children song, which were carried out at the beginning, middle, or end of the lesson according to the students' learning conditions. The implementation of ice breaking improved students' attention during learning, encouraged them to participate actively in asking and answering questions, increased their compliance with the teacher's instructions, helped them maintain focus during the learning process, enhanced their learning enthusiasm, and improved their ability to complete assigned tasks. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of ice breaking plays an important role in creating an enjoyable and conducive learning atmosphere, thereby improving the learning concentration of fifth-grade students at SDN 139 Pekanbaru.]]>
