This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aimed to enhance the learning interest and active participation of 27 fourth-grade students (Class IV B) at SD Negeri Betet 3, Kediri City, regarding the material on combinations of basic locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements. The study employed a play-based approach using modified games—specifically Modified *Goboy*, Modified *Kasti*, Modified Handball, and Modified Target Ball—across two cycles, each comprising two sessions. Data were collected using observation sheets assessing learning interest and active participation on a 1–4 scale. The results showed an increase in learning interest from 61.57% in the pre-cycle stage to 82.87% by the end of Cycle II, while active participation rose from 62.15% to 80.79%. By the end of the study, 23 out of the 27 students had reached the "high" or "very high" category for both variables. The implementation of the action achieved a 100% success rate. Thus, the application of a play-based approach using modified games led to increased student learning interest and active participation in Physical Education (PJOK) lessons.
