Abstract

This research is motivated by the author's observations at Kasih Bunda Salareh Aia Kindergarten, where the snakes and ladders game has been implemented as part of early childhood learning activities. However, there are not many studies that discuss in depth the role of teachers in optimizing the benefits of this game for children's cognitive development. The purpose of this study is to determine the application of the snakes and ladders game in children aged 5–6 years. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Data sources consist of primary data (observation results, interviews, and documentation) and secondary data (documents and photos of activities in the school environment). Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the snakes and ladders game at Kasih Bunda Salareh Aia Kindergarten is used as a fun, interactive, and educational learning medium, helping children develop cognitive, social-emotional, and motor skills. Children become more understanding of the concepts of numbers, sequences, and strategic thinking, and are able to solve simple problems. Teachers play an important role in integrating games into the learning process, creating a meaningful learning atmosphere, and guiding children to learn while playing enthusiastically.

Abstract

This study aims to describe teachers' efforts to improve the self-confidence of early childhood through storytelling methods at TK IT Ar Rahmah Plus Al Qur'an. The background of this study is based on the continued discovery of children who lack self-confidence, have difficulty communicating and interacting socially, and limited teacher creativity in implementing interesting learning methods. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with informants consisting of one class teacher and the principal, as well as research subjects of 22 students. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The learning process using the storytelling method includes three main stages: initial activities, core activities (pre-, during, and post-storytelling), and closing activities. The results of the study indicate that the storytelling method is effective in improving children's self-confidence. Improvements are seen when children begin to dare to speak in front of the class, answer teacher questions, and retell the story with increased expression and enthusiasm. Storytelling activities encourage children to express themselves, communicate verbally, and interact with peers more confidently. Thus, the storytelling method has proven to be an effective learning strategy in fostering self-confidence in early childhood.
