Social Studies learning in third grade of elementary school is still often conducted conventionally through one-way lecture methods, causing students to be passive and less motivated. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Snowball Throwing learning model in Social Studies, analyze student responses, identify obstacles, and describe teachers' efforts to overcome them. The research was conducted in class III.2 of an elementary school with 12 students as subjects. The method used was descriptive qualitative with questionnaires and observation as data collection techniques. The results showed that the application of the Snowball Throwing model had a positive impact on the quality of Social Studies learning. As many as 91.7% of students strongly agreed to learn again using the same method. Students became more active, enthusiastic, and found it easier to understand the material through group discussions and game-based question-and-answer activities. Nevertheless, some obstacles were found, including the lack of courage among some students to ask questions and uneven participation in group collaboration. Teachers addressed these issues through personal motivation, use of simple language, and implementation of turn rotation rules. In conclusion, the Snowball Throwing model is effective in increasing the activeness and learning motivation of third grade elementary school students in Social Studies.
