Abstract

Children are vulnerable to potential hazards from their environment because of their cognitive, psychological and social developments are in immature stages. Formal edu- cation is still lacking in teaching safety concepts for children, hence a fun educational media for children is needed so that children can learn through child-friendly educa-tive games. Because of that develop a fun child safety education model is important to improve children’s knowledge on the importance of safety, so that children can easily understand how to implement safety values in their life. We used Research and Develop- ment (R&D) level 1 design to develop children’s safety education game, which consisted of five stages, started from the data collection up to assess the product effectiveness. The result was a “snake and ladders of safety” game as safety education media for chil- dren. We presented 12 pictures in “snake and ladders of safety” game. This research was conducted on year 2017. Based on the game evaluation, the average pretest score was 37.9 and the average posttest score increased to 65.5, hence there was an increase of knowledge on safety by 72.8%. It can be concluded that this game can increase children’s knowledge on safety.
