<![CDATA[Cyberbullying is one of the negative impacts of the increasingly widespread development of information technology, especially among children. UNICEF (2020) reported that 45% of 2,777 young people in Indonesia aged 14-24 years have experienced cyberbullying. This community service aims to prevent digital bullying through digital literacy education for children at the Muhammadiyah Boys and Girls Orphanage in Kediri City. This activity integrates character education, social skills, and media etiquette. Through the CBR (Community Based Research) method, steps for preventing, reporting, and handling bullying are developed which are expected to be pioneers of anti-bullying campaigns. The results of the community service activities show that the participants can receive digital literacy education to combat cyberbullying well. Children can understand the forms included in cyberbullying and understand the procedures for reporting to relevant parties. Through this activity, participants also understand digital literacy in general and through interactive digital literacy snakes and ladders game activities. This ultimately further improves children's digital literacy knowledge and skills, especially in efforts to combat cyberbullying.Keywords: children; cyberbullying; digital literacy; media; games Abstrak: Cyberbullying merupakan salah satu dampak negatif dari perkembangan teknologi informasi yang semakin tinggi, khususnya di kalangan anak-anak.
