Abstract

The  backgroundofthis  research  is  the  lack  of  activities  that  can  stimulate children's  cooperative  abilities  at  the  school.  Increasing  cooperation  through cooperative play methods such as team tournament games is the right solution to stimulate children's cooperative abilities. A qualitative approach with the type of field   research   was   used   in   this   research.   The   data   collection   technique   is observation, interviews and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis techniques include  data  reduction  or  filtering,  data  presentation  and  conclusions.  This research  shows  that  it  improves  the  cooperative  abilities  of  children  aged  5-6 years  through  cooperative  play  methods  such  as  team  games  tournaments adapted to the RPPH theme using various games, namely: 1) floating and sinking object flows, 2) balloon relay, 3) hula hop jumping, 4) filling water in bottles, 5) blowing  balls  with  straws,  6)  puzzles,  7)  clogs.  In  this  research,  there  were  also obstacles  in  improving  children's  cooperative  abilities,  namely  that  there  were children who were individual, quiet, did not like group activities and chose friends when  playing.  In  overcoming  these  obstacles,  the  solution  used  is  to  provide interesting group activities and the members are always replaced at each activity. Through the team games tournament activity, class B children are stimulated in their  cooperative  abilities  so  that  children  become  more  active,  children  do  not choose friends, and children can complete group games well.
