The implementation of the pious children’s festival program consists of 4 activities, namely, short letter memorization competitions, daily prayer memorization competitions, call to prayer competitions, and Islamic fashion show competitions. The implementation method applied to the pious children’s festival program uses debriefing, training, and practice methods. The result of this pious children’s festival program is that children in the Patte’ne Village are more enthusiastic about learning the Islamic religion, then the children in the Patte’ne Village are also more daring to show their talents and their sel-confidence has increased after participating in the pious children’s festival program.
