The current teaching materials are still in the form of books, it makes less attractive to readers. This research makes teaching materials packaged in games that invite prospective teachers to carry out Experiencing, Interaction,communication and Reflection activities in plant taxonomy learning. The purpose of this research is to develop MIKiR teaching materials from the “Find Me Save Me” game containing Indonesian plan biodiversity. This research is a development research which is analyzed descriptively. Purposive Sampling Technique, the subject of this research is the prospective science teacher of State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau, State Islamic Institute of Kudus and Pattimura University which was held in March-May. The <em>“Find Me Save Me”</em> game was developed using the 4D stages in R and D, namely Define, Design, Develop, and disseminate.

This game uses 50 types of rare Indonesian plants which are used as a source of material for the game Find Me Save Me. The results of the research Game find me save me get proper validation and can be used in learning, and effective in introducing rare Indonesian plants, especially for prospective science teachers who are not only experts in science and technology but also love and want to preserve Indonesian plants that are starting to become rare.
