Abstract: Developing 21st-century competencies among children requires strengthening creativity, cooperation, communication, and social responsibility from an early age. Social creativity refers to a child’s ability to generate new ideas, solve interpersonal problems, collaborate with peers, and empathize with others in social situations. This study examined the effectiveness of a structured Social Creativity Development Program (SCDP) designed for primary school learners. Using a pre-test/post-test control group design, 40 students from Grade 4 were assessed using a Social Creativity Checklist across five dimensions— imagination, cooperation, communication, empathy, and problem-solving. The experimental group received a four-week intervention involving storytelling, dramatization, art-based learning, and collaborative problem-solving games. Results revealed a statistically significant improvement in the social creativity skills of students who participated in the program. The findings highlight the importance of embedding social creativity activities within school curricula to support holistic development and 21st-century learning.
