Perancangan Buku Aktivitas Interaktif Kisah Alkitab Sebagai Media Edukasi Bagi Anak Sekolah Minggu di GBI FCC Manik Saribu

ABSTRACT

Sunday School Lessons at GBI FCC Manik is still dominated by storytelling methods, so children’s engagement in the learning process has not been optimal. This situation highlights the need for learning materials that are more engaging, interactive, and suited to the characteristics of children aged 6–12 years. The objective of this design project is to produce an interactive activity book based on Bible stories as an educational tool capable of enhancing children’s interest in learning and their understanding of Bible stories. The methods used included observation, interviews, and literature review to identify user needs and serve as the basis for developing the design concept. The design process was carried out through the stages of pre-production, production, post-production, and evaluation. The book was designed using a flat design illustration style with bright colors, easy-to-read typography, and various interactive activities, such as coloring, spot-the-difference games, word searches, crossword puzzles, simple puzzles, and picture matching. The design was created using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop, with the book formatted in B5 size.
