The rapid growth of the digital era significantly reduces children's physical activity, thus having an impact on decreasing gross and fine motor development in elementary school-age children. The habit of excessive use of gadgets causes children to tend to be passive and less involved in structured movement activities. Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS), as the basis of motor competence which includes locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills, shows increasingly less than optimal development in early childhood and school age. This study examines the contribution of FMS to children's motor development and evaluates the effectiveness of FMS-based learning media, especially modified snake and ladder games, in improving students' basic movement skills. The study used a descriptive-correlational quantitative design involving 40 students aged 6–9 years who were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) instrument, structured observation rubrics, and supporting documentation. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests to see the relationships between variables. The findings of this research are expected to be the basis for the development of more innovative, adaptive, and fun physical education programs to support children's motor development in the midst of the challenges of the digital era.

This community service activity was motivated by the need to create Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning that is more engaging, interactive, and suited to the characteristics of elementary school students in the digital era. The service team identified a significant potential to integrate print-based learning media with interactive websites as an innovative solution to address monotonous and less visual learning processes. This activity was carried out at SD Tahfidz Al-Jamiel, involving second-grade students as the primary subjects, while teachers acted as facilitators and observers of the learning process. The service method adopted the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) approach by utilizing local assets such as students' enthusiasm as digital natives, adequate school facilities, and the school's openness to educational innovation. The activity was implemented through several stages: initial observation, program planning, implementation of learning using interactive media, and a simple evaluation of the activity’s impact.The results of this activity indicated that integrating printed books and interactive websites could enhance students' interest and participation in PJOK learning. Students appeared more active, enthusiastic, and found it easier to understand locomotor movement material being taught. Teachers also responded positively to the media used. This activity demonstrates that digital-based learning transformation can be conducted in a simple and practical manner within the elementary school context and holds great potential for replication in other schools.

Games as an alternative that helps to improve locomotor movements in children because there are fun movement tasks, one of which is by applying circuit games in improving the basic locomotor movement skills of students in class II SDN 8 Pakis 8 Surabaya students experience an increase in locomotor movement skills (walking, running jumping), this research is a class action research where in this study using 2 cycles conducted for 2 meetings. The subjects in this study were class II C SDN 8 Pakis students totaling 20 students. The techniques used in data collection are tests, observation and documentation. Based on the results of the study, it shows that through circuit games it can improve the learning outcomes of locomotor basic movements (walking, running jumping) in class II SDN 8 Pakis Surabaya This can be seen from the percentage of completeness of learning outcomes in cycle 1 and cycle 2 increased, with a percentage of completeness of 50% in cycle 1 and a percentage of completeness of 97% in cycle 2.

Love is the main principle in Christianity taught by Jesus and emphasized by the Apostle Paul as the fulfillment of the Law. In the context of Batak society, the Dalihan Na Tolu social system regulates social relations based on the principles of honor, solidarity, and responsibility. This research aims to analyze how the law of love in Paul's theology can be integrated with the principles of Dalihan Na Tolu to build contextual Christian ethics in Batak land without losing the essence of the gospel. This research uses a qualitative method with a theological and ethnographic study approach. Literature studies were conducted on biblical texts, Pauline theological sources, and references to Batak culture. Hermeneutic analysis was used to understand the concept of the law of love in Paul's theology, while a study of Dalihan Na Tolu was conducted to identify its relevance to Christian ethics. The results show that there are similar values between the law of love in Paul's theology and the principles of Dalihan Na Tolu, especially in terms of love, respect and solidarity. However, some aspects of Dalihan Na Tolu need to be criticized, especially in terms of social hierarchy that can lead to injustice. Therefore, cultural transformation is needed so that the principle of love taught in the Bible can become the basis of Christian ethics that are relevant to Batak society. This research contributes to the development of contextual theology and provides insight for the church and Batak community in applying the law of love in social and traditional life.

Locomotor movement skills are movement skills that are often or even always performed by a person. During childhood, a child will start their locomotor activities through the family environment and then move on to the school environment through physical education. This study aims to measure the level of locomotor movement skills of students at the elementary school level. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. This study was attended by 46 students from elementary schools with the age of 9-10 years or grade 3 elementary school. The TGMD-2 instrument was used as a test instrument in this study. The results showed that locomotor movement skills were dominated by running skills. This result is proven by the number of students who obtained the maximum score of 31 students. In gallop skills, students experience obstacles with the acquisition of a minimum score of 19 students. Based on these results, students' locomotor movement skills obtained significant results in the run variable. Appropriate interventions still need to be carried out to improve locomotor skills in the gallop variable.

Education is increasingly advanced and even varied, and so should Christian Religious Education teachers. Christian Religious Education teachers are required to be creative in educating and creating a lively classroom atmosphere. The influence of the teacher in the classroom is very important. The method used in this writing is descriptive qualitative method so that the results of the research can be developed further. Christian Religious Education is an education that is carried out to bring students to Christ, because the main center of Christian Religious Education learning is Christ. The purpose of writing this article is to provide an understanding for Christian Religious Education teachers that in the learning process they can use the locomotor movement method, so that students are not bored with monotonous learning. The role of Christian religious education teachers in increasing students' interest in learning with the locomotor method is very important. Locomotor movements are an important part of physical education and sports programs, and the development of locomotor movements also helps learners acquire the basic motor skills needed to live healthy and physically active lives.
