This study aims to describe the implementation of role-playing activities to enhance the language skills of children aged 3–4 years at KB 02 Mlandingan Kulon, Mlandingan District. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The subjects of the study were children aged 3–4 years and the teacher at KB 02 Mlandingan Kulon. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the role-playing activities were carried out in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. During the preparation stage, the teacher selected a theme, developed a storyline, prepared tools and materials, and arranged the activity space. The implementation stage involved assigning roles, providing instructions and stimuli, offering guidance, and assisting children who encountered difficulties. In the evaluation stage, the teacher conducted a question-and-answer session regarding the characters, activities, and the children's experiences during the role-play. Prior to the implementation of these activities, the children's language skills were not optimally developed, characterized by a lack of confidence in speaking, limited vocabulary, brief responses, and a continued reliance on teacher assistance. Following the implementation of role-playing activities, improvements in language skills were observed, evidenced by increased speaking confidence, more diverse vocabulary usage, the ability to engage in two-way communication, the expression of desires and feelings, the recounting of experiences, and the ability to respond to peers. Role-playing activities provide a concrete, enjoyable, and interactive learning experience, giving children the opportunity to use language actively in meaningful contexts. Thus, role-playing activities can serve as an effective learning method to stimulate language development in children aged 3–4 years.
