Antenatal class is an important component for pregnant women to improve their knowledge and skills during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period. Educational methods using conventional methods are becoming obsolete and innovative educational methods have been developed. The aim of the research is to create antenatal education model based gamification to improve knowledge and attitude of pregnant women.The research we implemented Research and Development (R&D) method and quasi experimental with a control group pre-test and post-test design. Research subjects pregnant women were given education by ladder snakes and the control group by pregnancy booklets for 10 days meeting. The results show that antenatal education model is worthy of a education media with p-value of 0,000 and the application of this education based gamification after 10 days is effective in increasing knowledge (p=0,001) and attitudes (p=0,001) better than control group. According of the resultsAn antenatal education based on gamification is reliebel to improving knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women. An antenatal education based on gamification can be applied to antenatal classes
