<![CDATA[Learning about ablution for elementary school-age children is still dominated by theoretical explanations, resulting in differences in students’ understanding and practical skills. Some participants have difficulty remembering the pillars and sequence of ablution and still make errors in performing several parts of the practice. This study aims to examine the application of the demonstration method in ablution practice learning and to improve the understanding and practical skills of elementary school-age children. The study used a descriptive approach and was conducted at Jorong Aia Kijang Mosque, Nagari Nan Tujuah, Palupuh District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, involving 13 children in grades 1–5. Data were collected through observation, pretest and posttest, practical assessment sheets, and documentation. The learning process consisted of material presentation, demonstration, direct practice, assistance, and evaluation. The results showed an improvement in participants’ understanding and practical skills. Before the learning activities, approximately 3 of 13 participants were able to understand the basic material and perform ablution properly, while after the activities the number increased to approximately 10 participants. These findings indicate that the demonstration method combined with direct practice, assistance, and evaluation can provide a more applicable learning experience and support the development of practical worship skills. The study contributes an applicable learning approach that can be continued by local educators for other practical religious learning materials.]]>
