This study aims to improve the gross motor skills of early childhood through the application of the hoop Zig Zag jumping game method at PPT Cerdas, Penjaringan Sari Village, Rungkut District, Surabaya City. This research uses a Classroom Action Research (PTK) approach which is carried out in two cycles with research subjects totaling 17 children in Group B. The focus of the research includes improving gross motor skills of young children through the application of the Zig Zag jumping game method. The focus of the research includes improving children's gross motor skills, educator activities in facilitating learning, and active participation of students in participating in the game. The results showed a significant increase in children's gross motor skills by 28.1%, from an average of 54.12 in Cycle I to 82.22 in Cycle II. Educators' activities increased by 28.58%, from 59.52% to 88.10%, and children's active participation increased by 25%, from 62.50% to 87.50%.  The application of the Zig Zag jumping hoop game is proven to be effective in developing physical aspects such as muscle strength, balance, and body coordination, as well as fostering children's self-confidence and learning motivation. Optimal teacher assistance plays an important role in creating a fun learning atmosphere that supports gross motor development and psychosocial aspects of children. These findings support gross motor development theories that emphasize the importance of stimulation and interaction in the early childhood learning process.
