Abstract

This article discusses the development of a game that follows the color in the interactive surface for the gross motor skill of early childhood. The objective is to facilitate early childhood in learning through play with the use of interactive surface technology. The game requires the child to jump based on the color shown by the computer and reflected through the projector on the ground surface. The product combines software and hardware which integrated into a game. The software consists of following the color game, driver communication software, and hardware. The hardware includes Laptop/PC with Bluetooth feature, LCD/LED Projector, Wiimote, and InfraRed controller. The development method only applies three steps adapted from its model by Lee-Owen, which are analysis, design, and development. Therefore it is merely a test with a limited scale. The development of these products responded positively by a theoretical expert, instructional media expert, students and teachers. The result of the direct observation and interview shows that this product is attractive, fun, increasing motivation, also activating and encouraging children to learn collaboratively. Some matters to be concerned are the continuity, practicality and safety of the game devices in preparation, operation and post-operation.
