<![CDATA[Fulfilled nutritional needs play an important role at school age. The beginning of nutritional problems occurs due to knowledge factors, so it is necessary to implement efforts to provide information about balanced nutrition. Nutrition education research using lecture and puzzle game methods was conducted at SDN Pakintelan 01 aimed at determining changes in the level of knowledge and attitudes of students regarding balanced nutrition. The type of research is Quasy Experiment and uses a pretest-post test design with control group design. The sampling technique uses stratified random sampling. The number of samples of the control group given education (lecture method) was 32 people and the experimental group given education (lecture and puzzle game methods) was 32 people. There was an effect of education on the control and experimental groups on the level of knowledge of balanced nutrition (p-value < 0.001), there was no effect of education on the control and experimental groups on attitudes towards balanced nutrition (p-value = 0.89), there was a difference in the level of knowledge about balanced nutrition between the experimental and control groups (p-value < 0.001), there was no difference in attitudes about balanced nutrition between the experimental and control groups (p-value = 0.87). This study shows that there is an increase in knowledge from the control and experimental groups, indicating that the delivery of education and information related to balanced nutrition can be accepted by students of SDN Pakintelan 01. However, there has been no significant change in attitudes towards balanced nutrition.]]>
