Limited English vocabulary and a lack of reading materials are common challenges faced by children attending community-based Al-Quran Education Centers (TPQs). These issues are addressed through English language support using thematic games, role-playing, bilingual storytelling, and the creation of educational bulletin boards as learning tools. The activity aims to improve the students’ command of basic English vocabulary and boost their confidence in using simple expressions, while also fostering their creativity through the creation of an educational bulletin board. The activity was conducted using a participatory approach that combined thematic games, role-playing, bilingual storytelling, and hands-on practice in creating a bulletin board, involving approximately 20 students aged 4 to 12. Data were collected through observation, simple oral tests before and after the activity (pre-tests and post-tests), and documentation, and were then analyzed descriptively. The results of the activity showed that the students’ understanding of basic vocabulary and simple expressions in English improved after participating in the program. In addition, the students actively participated in creating the content for a bulletin board that featured English vocabulary, motivational quotes, and their own work. It is hoped that the resulting bulletin board will serve as a sustainable learning tool at the TPQ. This activity demonstrates that combining enjoyable English language learning with tangible literacy products can enhance students’ motivation to learn and their creativity in a nonformal religious education setting.
