This study aims to investigate the impact of using Kahoot! learning game media on the academic performance of fifth-grade students in Islamic Education and Character lessons. The research employed the McTaggart Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, consisting of two cycles that included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' academic achievement, with the mastery level increasing from 94.74% in the first cycle to 100% in the second cycle. The use of Kahoot! as a game-based learning medium proved effective in enhancing student engagement, participation, conceptual understanding, and material retention. This study highlights the importance of innovative and technology-based teaching strategies to improve learning effectiveness. The implementation of interactive media such as Kahoot! can serve as a solution for educators to create a more dynamic and engaging learning experience for students.
