One of the factors contributing to the low numeracy recognition ability of Group A children at PAUD Galuh Anjani is the use of inappropriate and insufficiently varied teaching methods and learning media. This study aimed to improve the number recognition ability of Group A children through the implementation of the Foot and Hand Games activity at PAUD Galuh Anjani in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR). The participants were 13 children in Group A (aged 4–5 years), consisting of 8 boys and 5 girls. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The success indicator was set at 80% of the 13 children achieving an individual mastery score of 75–100, categorized as Developing as Expected (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) in number recognition ability. The study was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of two meetings. Each cycle included the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The results of Cycle I showed an improvement in children's number recognition ability through the Foot and Hand Games activity. Before the intervention, only 5 children (38.4%) achieved the BSH and BSB categories, with an average score of 53. After the implementation of Cycle I, the number of children achieving mastery increased to 9 children (69.2%), with an average score of 70.3. Furthermore, the results of Cycle II demonstrated a significant improvement. The number of children who achieved the BSH and BSB categories increased to 11 children (84.6%), with an average score of 85.3.References
