Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of Pappasang Ri Kajang on the ability of moral values in children aged 5-6 years.

The research subjects consisted of 15 children in Wulil Amri Mannuruki Kindergarten Group B who were selected from the research population using purposive sampling techniques. Data is collected through observational guidelines that measure three main aspects: recognizing problems, finding solutions, and evaluating outcomes. The results of the study showed a significant improvement that can be seen from the ability of children to behave politely, honestly, and simply after the implementation of Pappasang Ri Kajang . There was a difference in the average pre-test score of 26.62 increasing to 53.31 at the posttest with a significance value of 0.001 (p <0.05).
