Abstract

The research found that the children’s recognition of geometric shapes and fine motor in Group A was low. Such finding was caused by the classical method of learning applied in the classroom such as lecturing and having the children do worksheets so that the learning activities were not attractive as well as less innovative. This research aims at knowing the influence of the puzzle game about geometry towards the ability to know the geometric shapes and fine motor of older group of children. The research used was quantitative method with quasi experimental as the design with the use of non-equivalent control group design. This study involved 103 children from some kindergartens in Surabaya. The data were collected using observation sheets and documentation. The results of this study showed that the children in the experimental group showed greater ability to know the geometric shapes and fine motor compared to the children in the control group. In addition, the geometric puzzle game proved that it was an effective way to help students with the ability to know the geometric shapes and fine motor.
