Abstract

Multiple intelligences have now become common knowledge for educators. Every child has their own intelligence. Initially, intelligence only meant the value of brain intelligence. Therefore, all educators, especially in early childhood education (PAUD), must be able to recognize the potential of students to contribute to character development and self-confidence in overcoming challenges. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimization of multiple intelligences for early childhood with the traditional game of Batu Serimbang aged 5-6 years at RA Kurnia 2 Marelan. This research uses classroom action research (PTK) in collaboration with teachers, school principals, and school staff. The subjects in this study were 15 children.
