This self-confidence is an important foundation for children in facing life's challenges and fostering a strong sense of self-confidence. The problem encountered in this study was low self-confidence in children, as evidenced by their lack of participation in storytelling activities in front of their peers. This study aimed to increase children's self-confidence through the application of role-playing. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach and was conducted in two cycles. The subjects were 15 children in Group B at Dharma Wanita Persatuan 3 Kindergarten, Ampelgading. The results of Cycle I were 53.3%. Therefore, in Cycle II, the role-playing topic was changed to "I Am a Trader," giving children the freedom to organize the space, assign roles, and carry out activities. Observations showed an increase in completion rate to 80%. This study proves that role-playing is effective in increasing children's self-confidence by strengthening social interactions and providing enjoyable experiences tailored to their interests.
