Background: Social development is a process of learning to adjust to group norms, morals and traditions, to merge into one entity and to communicate and work together. A toddler who experiences delays in social personal development can have unfavorable effects on a child's self-concept, causing problems with his behavior and emotions. Several studies have shown that role playing can improve the social development of preschoolers. Aims : To evaluate the effects of role playing on social development in preschoolers in kindergarten. Joint Work to Build Matanga Village. Method: The research design used was Quasi Experiment with a type of pre-test and post-test control time design group with 30 respondents. Previously, this study carried out initial data collection (pre-test) to determine the level of social development of children. Furthermore, after treatment is given, the final data is collected (post-test). The sampling technique is done by simple random sampling with research instruments using observation sheets of child development tasks in the form of a checklist. Results: Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to determine significant differences before and after being treated in the experimental and control groups, with the results obtained p value = 0.001 (<0.05).

Role playing is not only done by teaching staff but can also be done by health workers to improve the social development of preschoolers.
