This research uses a qualitative research approach. The results of this research indicate that the ice breaking method has been implemented at the MA Ar-Rohmah institution.

When studying, students feel very motivated because there is a different atmosphere in the class or the learning time is more cheerful and enthusiastic. Students don't feel bored in class because there are breaks in boring learning, so that in the end students get excellent grades.]]>
