Abstract

Writing simple sentences is a fundamental language skill that elementary school students need to master as the foundation for developing broader literacy competencies. However, observations conducted at MI Miftahul Ulum Ampeldento revealed that second-grade students experienced difficulties in constructing simple sentences based on the Subject–Predicate–Object–Adverbial (S-P-O-K) pattern due to limited vocabulary, inadequate understanding of sentence structure, and the lack of interactive learning media. Previous studies have demonstrated that educational games can improve students’ motivation and learning outcomes; nevertheless, the development of syntax-based board games specifically designed to train simple sentence writing skills remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to develop the S-P-O-K Snake and Ladder Board Game as an interactive learning medium to improve students’ ability to compose simple sentences. This research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The developed product was validated by material and media experts before being implemented with second-grade students. The findings indicate that the developed board game is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students’ ability to construct simple sentences, while also increasing learning motivation, participation, and engagement during Indonesian language learning.
