General Background: Civic education requires active, student-centered methodologies to effectively instill foundational national values and ethical frameworks in elementary school students. Specific Background: Conventional, passive lecture methods often lead to disengagement, leaving young learners struggling to comprehend and apply the second Pancasila principle, "Just and Civilized Humanity," in real-world contexts. Knowledge Gap: While interactive digital platforms are increasingly adopted, there is limited specific research on how narrative-driven, gamified tools like Froggy Jumps directly translate abstract socio-political concepts into concrete understanding for fourth-grade students. Aims: This classroom action research investigates the application of Educaplay Frog Jumps to improve student comprehension and engagement regarding the second Pancasila principle at SDN Boro. Results: Using the Kemmis and McTaggart model across two cycles with 21 participants, learning completion progressed from 76% in Cycle I to 86% in Cycle II, with assessment scores demonstrating significant improvement. Novelty: The study demonstrates that integrating adventure-based digital games with contextual questioning transforms rote memorization of national ideology into active, critical comprehension. Implications: Utilizing targeted digital gamification provides educators with a highly engaging pedagogical framework to foster foundational civic awareness and moral development within interactive classroom environments. Highlights: Gamified digital tools successfully convert passive civic instruction into engaging, multisensory learning experiences. Adventure-based mechanics resolve common student difficulties in comprehending abstract ideological concepts. Classroom action cycles demonstrate a consistent progression in fundamental civic mastery from baseline measurements.
