Background and Objective. One of the challenges that social studies presents to teachers in class is the lack of students’ interest in the material. This study aims to develop snakes and ladders learning media for use in the subject of social studies in elementary school. Method. The research design used is the Four-D Research and Development (R&D) model by Thiagarajan (Santoso & Albaniah). The criteria used as a reference for the effectiveness of the learning media are students’ participation, interest, and learning outcomes, whereas for the practicality, the criteria are the implementation and teachers’ ability to use the learning media. The research employed descriptive statistics analysis and inductive-deductive flow analysis. Results. The results show that the snakes and ladders learning media on social studies appear to be valid and practical, and can effectively improve elementary school students’ interest and learning outcomes. The learning media is considered valid based on the experts’ validation with average 4.3 (good). The effectiveness of this learning media meets the criteria: (1) student participation in the learning process is high and (2) student learning outcomes meet the minimum learning mastery standard average at 79.04 of the ideal score of 100 and the completeness test of learning outcomes with the probability value of one sample t-test of 0.00 <0.05. The practicality of the learning media is shown through the observation result of the implementation of the media with an average of 4.4 (good), whereas the results of the student interest questionnaire show that of 25 students (92%) responded that they were happy with the subject matter taught, 80% of students responded that they were happy with the learning. Conclusion. The snakes and ladders learning media on social studies can enhance students’ interest and learning outcomes in elementary education.
