Aqidah Akhlak learning at SMA Ahmad Yani 2 Baureno still uses a monotonous lecture method, which reduces students’ interest and activeness. Academic supervision results also indicate that the use of media and teaching methods has not been optimal. To address this, the researcher developed both a learning medium and an evaluation tool based on Bamboozle Games using the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) method to make learning more interactive and enjoyable. This medium not only supports the delivery of material but also serves as an evaluation tool that enables teachers to directly assess students’ understanding through educational games. The research employed the R&D method with the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), involving 55 eleventh-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, teacher and student response questionnaires, pre-tests, post-tests, and documentation. The results showed that the Bamboozle Games based TGT medium was highly valid according to material experts (97%) and media design experts (93%). Teacher responses reached 95% (very effective), and student interest was 83.63% (very high interest). The effectiveness of the medium was further evidenced by a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pre test scores, indicating that it can improve learning outcomes while serving as an engaging evaluation tool. Thus, the Bamboozle Games-based Teams Games Tournament (TGT) is effective in enhancing students’ motivation, activeness, and learning outcomes, while also providing an innovative alternative for Aqidah Akhlak learning in the digital era.

Religious education has an important role in shaping the character of students, especially religious character which is the moral foundation in life. The habit of worship, such as the dhuha prayer, is one of the concrete efforts made by schools to instill religious values in students. At SMP NU Simo, dhuha prayer activities are made a routine before learning begins as a means of forming students' religious character. However, in its implementation, there are still several obstacles, such as the lack of discipline of some students in participating in the dhuha prayer, low awareness of the importance of this sunnah worship, the influence of the environment and peers who are less supportive, and the lack of variety of coaching methods that make some students carry out worship only as a formal obligation without understanding its meaning in depth.

Inhibiting factors in the implementation of this activity include lack of student awareness, environmental influences, as well as limited time and teacher supervision.
