The Fruit of the Spirit is an important theological value to teach children because it contains points for everyday behavior. However, learning about the Fruit of the Spirit often encounters obstacles and is difficult for children aged 8-12 years to understand because it is considered too abstract and difficult to convey in simple language. Furthermore, obstacles come from the learning media used which are still conventional. Therefore, effective learning media are needed that can attract the interest and motivation of children to want to learn and apply the Fruit of the Spirit in everyday life, such as board games. In board games, there are components that can attract emotions and can be used as media, namely character pawns. The method used is the Design Thinking method with descriptive analysis. This approach is used to analyze data from the results of observations, interviews, literature studies, and questionnaires, as well as to develop concepts and design results. Thus, the character pawns can be created with a human-centered design approach, which is able to create visuals that have a close relationship with children's psychology.

The low level of financial literacy in Indonesia, which only reached 49.68% according to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in 2022, highlights the urgency of financial education from an early age. Children aged 11–12 are at an ideal developmental stage to understand basic financial concepts such as income, expenses, saving, and delayed gratification. This study aims to introduce financial literacy through an interactive learning medium in the form of a board game. Board games are chosen because they enhance children's engagement in learning while playing and serve as an alternative to excessive gadget use. Through gameplay, children practice financial decision-making by simulating buying and selling activities, managing expenses, and choosing to save. This approach also supports the development of children's self-efficacy, which refers to their belief in their ability to manage financial tasks. By applying this method, children are expected not only to understand the value of money but also to implement basic financial management skills in daily life. Educational board games offer an effective tool for instilling healthy financial habits from an early age.

Abstract. Indonesia is an archipelagic country with a rich and diverse cultural heritage, reflected in its traditional clothing from various regions. However, with the advancement of time and the rapid flow of globalization, the younger generation's attention to traditional clothing has declined. A survey of youth aged 19–22 years found that most of them do not fully recognize the types, names, and origins of Indonesian traditional clothing, although they acknowledge the importance of preserving cultural heritage. To address this issue, an educational media in the form of an interactive board game was designed to reintroduce traditional clothing to young people in an engaging way. This study employed qualitative and quantitative methods, including questionnaires, interviews, observations, and focus group discussions. The board game features character pawns representing traditional attire from six major regions of Indonesia, highlighting each area's distinctive visual traits. Through this game, it is expected that youth will gain knowledge and foster a sense of love and pride in the nation's cultural heritage.
