Now global warming becomes the attention of all over the world. Global warming is probably caused by the increasing of the concentration of the greenhouse effects which is due to human activities. Indonesia became the fourth of the world that produced greenhouse gas emission in 2005 (MNP, 2007), as much as 6% of the presentation of the world. There are a lot of Indonesia people who do not care about their environment, such as throwing away the rubbish badly, increasing the motorcycle riders every year, burning the forest to be made for land crop, and etc. Therefore, Indonesia has to be aware of global warming such as the changing of the extreme weather, flood, clean water crisis, disease. Related to those problems, it needs to be appreciated the attitude of care for the environment since early. The objective of this research is to know whether the method of role playing is able to increase the attitude of care for the environment at the early stage of children. This research involved 29 preschool students. They were divided into 2 groups, control group (15 students) and experiment group (14 students). The hypothesis was that there was the different attitude between two groups. The students (experiment group) who play the role play �I love my earth� increased their attitude of care for the environment better than the other students (control group) who did not play it. The method which was used in this research was non � randomized pretest � posttest control only group design. From the statistical analysis using Paired Sample t � test shows that there is significantly difference for the experiment group before and after the conduct of role playing method � I Love my Earth� (t=11,168, p=0,000). Statistical analysis using Independent sample t-test with score gain (t = 9,350, p= 0,000) shows that there is significantly different attitude of care for the environment between the experiment group and the control group ( t = 9,350, p = 0,000).
