The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of managing play activities on the social interaction skills of children aged 5-6 years at PAUD Cinta Bangsa, East Pemenang Village, Pemenang District, North Lombok Regency. The research method employed is a Quantitative Quasi-Experimental Design, specifically a "pre-test and post-test with non-equivalent control group design." The population comprised 48 children aged 5-6 years at PAUD Cinta Bangsa. Nonprobability sampling technique with census sampling was employed, encompassing the total population of 48 children. Data collection techniques involved the administration of tests and non-participant observation. Data analysis techniques employed descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests of normality and homogeneity, independent paired sample t-test, independent t-test n-gain score. The results of the hypothesis testing, with a significance level of 5% (0.05), yielded a two-sided test value/two-tailed test value < 0.001 < 0.05. This finding indicates that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, thereby concluding that there is a significant influence between the management of play activities and children's social interaction.
