The Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method is a popular approach in education that allows students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through solving real problems. PBL involves steps such as problem identification, research, and presentation of solutions, with a focus on students learning independently and in small groups. Although PBL is effective in improving student learning outcomes, there are challenges such as the need for teachers who are skilled in guiding students and longer time to solve problems. Characteristics of PBL include student-centered learning, teachers as facilitators, and problems as learning stimuli. The PBL strategy emphasizes the importance of starting learning with problems that are relevant to students' real lives and gives students great responsibility in their own learning process.

Education today has increasing challenges due to the rapid development of technology and access by kindergarten children. Interest in digital media is higher than the learning process in the classroom which is monotonous or less interesting than digital media. So there is a need to reform the learning process by creating a pleasant learning atmosphere, namely teachers need to have creativity and innovation in building an active learning atmosphere. Efforts that can be made by teachers are to direct the learning process to play with the media of educational game tools by using used items such as cardboard. However, teachers at RA Darussalam have not implemented it. The purpose of this community service is to motivate and provide innovation to teachers in making APE media using used goods, namely cardboard. This research was conducted through community service research methods. The result of this service is to provide teachers with motivation and innovation and provide creative ideas in making APE media without high costs, namely through the use of used barracks around such as cardboard.

Poetry translation is a complex and challenging process, as poetry is a rich and unique form of language that often uses poetic words and sentence structures. This study aims to analyze the translation methods used by students of English Language Education Study Program in translating poetry from Indonesian to English. This research uses a case study method involving 15 students of English Education in North Sumatera who are currently undergoing a translation course. The research data were obtained through analyzing the poetry translations produced by the students.
