Perancangan Media Edukasi Interaktif Berbasis Board Game Untuk Pembelajaran Membaca Dan Menulis Anak Di TK Daruz Zikra

ABSTRACT

The lack of innovation in board game-based interactive learning media for reading and writing activities at TK Daruz Zikra has resulted in suboptimal levels of children's focus, concentration, and participation during the learning process. Therefore, this final project aims to design an educational board game as an interactive learning medium to help children recognize letters, read simple words, and develop early writing skills. The design process is based on graphic design theory, design principles, board game concepts, interactive learning media, and children's reading and writing instruction. The methods employed include observation, literature review, interviews, assessment questionnaires, and the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production using Ibis Paint X, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop. The final product is an educational board game consisting of a game board, character pawns, dice, reading and writing challenge cards, a mini whiteboard, a game guide, and a drawstring bag as packaging. This learning medium is expected to create an enjoyable learning environment while improving children's focus, concentration, and participation in reading and writing activities.

Keywords: Board Game, Interactive Learning Media, Reading and Writing.
