“…According to Miller and Almon in (Guirguis, 2018;Ismaniar et al, 2023), play is like a machine power in learning activities in early childhood and is vital in developing children's physical, social, and emotional skills.

The ability to have self-efficacy is an essential aspect for every individual. Self-efficacy skills that develop from an early age positively impact other factors, such as good social-emotional, cognitive, affective, motor skills, and academic. However, in real life, children's self-efficacy abilities still need to be developed because teachers still need to have the ability to choose suitable games to build them. This study looks at the effectiveness of the Warrior Kids' game in developing self-efficacy skills in children aged 5-6 years. This study used an experimental method with a one-group design, which compared the pre-test and post-test values; the sample used was 15 people, and the effectiveness, which is analyzed with Wilcoxon's formula, shows if the results of the study get a sig value of less than .05, the results obtained are .001, so it can be concluded that the efficacy of using warrior kids' games High means the efficacy of this game is in the high category, nature develops the self-efficacy abilities of early childhood. This is because the warrior kids' game can motivate children to conquer the game with exciting and fun obstacles, and each obstacle has been designed by prioritizing children's safety in playing so that children dare to try and participate in activities until they are finished properly.
