Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to explore the implementation of the "Learning Through Play" method in enhancing social skills among young children at Raudlatul Athfal Nurul Huda. The research focuses on observing how play-based learning activities can foster better interaction, cooperation, and communication skills in children aged 4-6 years. The study is conducted through a cycle of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants are a group of 20 preschool children. Data is collected using observation sheets, interviews with teachers, and children's social behavior records during play sessions. The research findings indicate that play-based activities significantly improve children's social skills, including their ability to share, collaborate, and express themselves in a group setting. The results suggest that incorporating playful learning strategies in early childhood education can create a more engaging and effective environment for developing essential social competencies. This research concludes that "Learning Through Play" is a valuable approach in enhancing social interaction skills in early childhood education settings, particularly in Raudlatul Athfal Nurul Huda
