This research aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the Monopoly Mitigation Game (MOMI) in enhancing critical thinking skills of children aged 5–6 years in the context of earthquake disaster mitigation. The study adopts a research and development design using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research was conducted with 21 children from TK ABA 27 Sedayulawas in Lamongan, East Java. The instruments included observation sheets and validation questionnaires. Results showed that the material expert validation scored 87.5% and media expert validation scored 85%, both categorized as "very feasible." Practicality and effectiveness scores reached 82.8%, categorized as "very practical and effective." The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), and the N-Gain average improvement score was 66.7%, indicating a high category. These findings confirm that MOMI is valid, practical, and effective in fostering children’s critical thinking and awareness of disaster risk reduction.
