Early childhood development is an important foundation for children's learning readiness at the next level of education, including the ability to recognize patterns and shapes as the basis for mathematical thinking. This study aims to determine the implementation of brick beam games as a medium for stimulating children's ability to recognize patterns and shapes at Pertiwi Gembol Blora Kindergarten. The subjects of the study were children at Pertiwi Gembol Blora Kindergarten. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions to obtain a comprehensive picture of children's achievements. The results showed that children were able to distinguish basic shapes, recognize colors from brick blocks, have higher self-confidence, practice patience and perseverance, and demonstrate more flexible finger skills in arranging patterns and shapes. Most children were in the Developing According to Expectations (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB) categories. This study concluded that brick beam games are effective as a fun learning game to improve the ability to recognize patterns and shapes in early childhood.
