Penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh signifikan penggunaan media jigsaw puzzle board game terhadap prestasi belajar Bahasa Inggris siswa kelas empat sekolah dasar di Kampung Baru pada tahun ajaran 2015/2016. Penelitian ini merupakan kuasi-eksperimen dengan desain post-test only, non equivalent control group. Jumlah populasi penelitian ini adalah 163 siswa dari enam sekolah dasar di Kampung Baru. Dari jumlah populasi tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan sampel 58 siswa dari SD Negeri 3 Kampung Baru sebagai kelas kontrol dan SD Negeri 5 Kampung Baru sebagai kelas eksperimen yang ditentukan dengan teknik cluster random sampling. Selanjutnya, data hasil penelitian yang diperoleh dianalisis secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata kelas eksperimen lebih tinggi dari nilai rata-rata kelas kontrol (80,50>72,93). Selain itu, hasil tes hipotesis (independent t-test) menunjukkan bahwa tobs = 2,810>tcv= 2,003 (α=0,05) dengan ukuran efek 0,75 (kategori sedang sampai kuat).
