Abstract

This research aims to develop the speaking skills of Group A children at RA Perwanida Birowo, Binangun District, Blitar Regency, through the implementation of the Whisper Chain Game method. Speaking is a critical aspect of early childhood development, and enhancing this skill is essential to fostering effective communication abilities. The Whisper Chain Game was chosen as an interactive and engaging method to improve children's speaking skills in a playful and collaborative environment. This study employed a classroom action research approach conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. The results revealed significant improvements in the children's speaking abilities, as demonstrated by their enhanced vocabulary, sentence structure, and overall communication. Additionally, the Whisper Chain Game proved to be an effective and enjoyable strategy that stimulated active participation, improved listening skills, and encouraged peer collaboration among the children. This study concludes that the Whisper Chain Game is an effective method for developing speaking skills in young children and can be applied in similar educational settings to support early childhood language development.
