Abstract

Educational games play a very important role in brain development and sharpen one's logic. But the games that are currently developing are only entertaining, not educational. To overcome this, we need games that contain educational elements that can support learning, such as sharpening logical thinking and memorizing. Therefore, educational games are very interesting to be developed as learning media and an easily accepted approach to provide religious education for students, one of which is through educational games through memorizing short suras. The problem is how to build interesting game applications that can increase students' motivation to learn short surah memorization and how to apply Research & Development methods in developing short surah guessing educational games. The purpose of this research is to build a short sura guessing educational game and prove that this game can improve students' thinking power. The method in making games is in accordance with application design analysis and Research & Development methods to carry out game scenarios which include determining interior and exterior, decorations, players, studios, and making tricks, and in document design there are provisions for game programs, graphics, characters, animations, sound, and music. The results obtained are the creation of a short sura guessing educational game with a measurement result of 4.6 which can be interpreted very well, so that it can support learning in improving the ability to hone logical thinking while increasing student interest in learning which can be channeled through communication technology.
