Background: Socialization is an essential aspect of early childhood development that enables children to interact effectively with their peers and environment. However, many children experience limited socialization skills due to a lack of interactive learning activities. The role-playing method is believed to be one of the effective learning strategies to enhance children’s social interaction, cooperation, and empathy. Objective: This study aims to determine the influence of the role-playing method on the socialization skills of early childhood (aged 3–5 years) at PAUD Lentera Impian Sahabat, Sorong City. Method: This research used a quantitative approach with a pre- experimental design and a one-group pretest–posttest model. The 19 population in this study consisted of 62 children, and a sample of 38 respondents was determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% margin of error. Data were collected through observation sheets that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was carried out using the Paired Sample t-test. Results: The results showed a significant improvement in children’s socialization skills after the implementation of the role-playing method. The mean score increased from 28.42 (pre-test) to 49.39 (post-test), with a mean difference of 20.97. The statistical test results showed p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant influence of the role-playing method on children’s socialization skills. Conclusion: The role-playing method has a significant positive effect on improving the socialization skills of early childhood. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to implement role-playing activities as part of learning strategies to enhance children’s social competence.
