This study aims to improve the early numeracy skills of children aged 5–6 years through the Cak Ingkling Gerpak game at PAUD Athaya Naffa’ Palembang. This research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages conducted in two cycles. The research subjects were 15 children in group B. Data were collected through observation and documentation using a checklist and assessment rubric. The observed indicators included mentioning number sequences from 1–20, counting objects, understanding the concepts of more and less, recognizing and matching number symbols with quantities, and solving simple addition problems. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using percentage techniques. The results showed a gradual improvement in children's early numeracy skills in each cycle. The percentage of learning mastery increased and reached the success indicator of ≥75% in cycle II. Therefore, the Cak Ingkling Gerpak game is effective as a fun and contextual learning medium to enhance early numeracy skills in early childhood.
