Data analysis showed a significant improvement in Arabic vocabulary acquisition after the application of the media, which was reflected in the increase in evaluation scores as well as an increase in learners' active participation during the learning process. The research findings indicate that the use of Froggy Jumps interactive media is more effective than conventional learning methods in improving vocabulary acquisition. This media is proven to be able to motivate learners, increase active engagement, and facilitate vocabulary comprehension and retention through visual, audio, and interactive game features that are in accordance with the characteristics of learners. Therefore, Froggy Jumps interactive media is recommended as an alternative innovative learning media that is effective in supporting the improvement of Arabic vocabulary acquisition at the elementary school level.
