Abstract: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using Jenga games in group counseling services to improve student concentration at MAN 4 Aceh Besar.

This study concludes that the Jenga game effectively improves student concentration through group counseling dynamics. The implications of this research are for schools to consider the importance of school support in providing resources, training for guidance counselors, and implementing education-based game strategies to ensure student concentration's optimal and sustainable development.
