Abstract

Traditional games offer valuable potential to support English vocabulary learning in ways that are interactive, culturally relevant, and enjoyable. This community service initiative aimed to introduce and model the use of local games—specifically Snakes and Ladders and Vocabulary Domino—as tools to enrich English language learning among students. The program targeted English teachers and pre-service teachers in Ambon, with 40 participants attending a two-hour workshop. The methods combined short lectures with hands-on practice, allowing participants to experience the adapted games directly. The content of the games focused on daily activity vocabulary and was presented in both English and Indonesian. A post-workshop questionnaire indicated that participants found the approach engaging, practical, and applicable to their teaching contexts. Many expressed interests in developing similar games based on local wisdom. These findings support the idea that integrating game-based learning with local content can promote contextualized teaching, enhance learner motivation, and preserve cultural identity in the classroom.

Abstract

The implementation of the Independent Curriculum requires teachers to create innovative and interactive learning processes, but the limitations of interesting media and strategies are often a challenge, especially in areas with limited access. This service activity aims to increase the professional capacity of 30 teachers from SMPN 49 and SMPN 53 Central Maluku in integrating board games as an effective learning medium and supporting the creation of Deep Learning. The method of implementing the activity is centralized training (hands-on workshop) and subject group assistance which is carried out for 1 day with a total duration of 3 hours. This training focused on sample board game analysis (My Favorite and Word Brick) and a prototype design mini-workshop by seven subject groups. The results of the evaluation showed a very satisfactory level of participant satisfaction with an average score of 3.75 out of a scale of 4.0, indicating that the applicable training method was in accordance with the needs of the teacher. In addition, 85% of participants stated that there was a significant increase in knowledge and self-efficacy on the potential of board games as a teaching medium. The concrete output produced is 7 board game prototypes that are ready to be implemented. The main benefit obtained is the diversification of teachers' learning strategies. In conclusion, this training successfully equips teachers with new skills in designing effective interactive media and makes a significant contribution to improving the quality of teaching at partner schools.
