<![CDATA[Disaster literacy among young children in Indonesia still needs to be strengthened because most early childhood education (PAUD) programs continue to rely on storytelling and static pictures, giving children few opportunities to connect disaster concepts with concrete action. Because safety habits formed in early childhood carry over into later preparedness, an interactive medium that lets children manipulate objects and practice choosing safe actions is needed. This study developed SIBAD, an interactive three-dimensional disaster-preparedness dice-and-card medium, named Disaster Preparedness Dice ( SIBAD), based on Contextual Teaching and Learning. It examined its feasibility and preliminary effectiveness for children aged 5–6 years. The research employed the ADDIE development model. Expert review involved media, content, and language validators; formative trials involved three children in a one-to-one trial, nine children in a small-group trial, and 15 children in a field trial. Data were collected through interviews, observation, questionnaires, and documentation and analyzed using percentages and normalized gain. SIBAD contains a six-sided disaster die and 54 cause, impact, and action cards covering floods, earthquakes, forest fires, landslides, tornadoes, and volcanic eruptions. Expert validation reached 98.7%, while teacher responses reached 97%. In the field trial, the mean score increased from 54.24% before use to 92.42% after use, with an N-gain of 0.84. These findings indicate that SIBAD is highly feasible and shows strong preliminary potential to support disaster literacy and simple preparedness actions in early childhood learning, consistent with the view that concrete, manipulable media strengthen young children's understanding of cause-and-effect relationships during the preoperational stage.]]>
