The current research aims to boost students' interest in learning, improve students' material comprehension of Indonesian language learning, and foster cultural awareness. The research method employed is Research and Development using the ADDIE model. This research contributes significantly to developing Indonesian language teaching materials at the elementary school level. The result demonstrates the approach's effectiveness in stimulating learning interest and improving students' understanding of the material, including increasing cultural awareness.
