This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a game show specifically designed to improve communication problems between parents and children. This event involves activities such as charades, water relay, playing cards, and sharing sessions, with the application of pretests and posttests to measure changes that occur before and after the event. The research results show that this game show succeeded in increasing emotional closeness between parents and children, improving communication, and strengthening positive relationships within the family. Practical suggestions are provided for schools, parents and participants so that they can continue to improve communication and positive family bonds after the event. The implications of this research provide insight into the importance of involving families in school activities to strengthen healthy family relationships.
