Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of the Spin Tamadun game in improving early childhood communication skills through Islamic history learning at KB/TK Islam Miftahul Jannah Semarang. The problem addressed is the low ability of children to express opinions, respond to questions, and use new vocabulary actively in learning activities. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques involving 15 children aged 5–6 years over four meetings. The results show an improvement in children’s communication abilities, indicated by an increased vocabulary range, greater confidence in speaking, and more active participation in class discussions and question–answer sessions. Spin Tamadun successfully created an enjoyable, interactive, and contextual learning atmosphere that encouraged children to express ideas both verbally and nonverbally with higher confidence. Therefore, Spin Tamadun serves as a simple yet effective educational medium to stimulate language development, speaking confidence, and communication skills in early childhood through meaningful and enjoyable learning experiences.Keywords: Spin Tamadun, children's communication, Islamic history learning. ABSTRAK.
