Preschool is vital for a child's development, particularly in the first five years, as highlighted by research (Babakr et al., 2019; Loose et al., 2022; Roslan et al., 2022). Recognising the importance of early physical activity (World Health Organization, 2015), incorporating engaging methods into ESL classrooms is crucial. The "Waze Me" board game addresses this need by helping preschool teachers teach directions and road safety to 4 to 6-year-olds. In a study involving 110 preschool students at Tadika Iman Pintar Denai Alam, Subang Bestari, and Subang Perdana, pre-tests and post-tests were conducted to assess the impact of the game. The t-test analysis showed a significant improvement in students' understanding of directions and road safety. The "Waze Me" board game not only benefits ESL teachers and students but also raises road safety awareness. Its effectiveness, technological integration, ease of implementation, and cost-effectiveness make it a marketable tool for preschool education.
