Limited access to supplementary learning resources remains a challenge for orphanage children in reinforcing basic English vocabulary. This community service activity aimed to support English vocabulary reinforcement among elementary school-aged children at an orphanage through educational posters. The activity was conducted at Arriyadhul Jannah Orphanage, Poris Gaga Baru, Tangerang City, Banten, involving 15 elementary school-aged participants. The program applied an educational-participatory approach through coordination, needs identification, media design, learning implementation, observational evaluation, and follow-up for sustainability. The educational posters were designed using Canva, printed on A2 paper, and organized into four themes: parts of the body, daily activities, food and drinks, and feelings. The learning activities included interactive explanation, pronunciation demonstration, picture-pointing practice, vocabulary repetition, and simple question-and-answer sessions. Observational results indicated that the posters attracted participants’ attention, encouraged children to imitate pronunciation, and helped them recognize and mention selected vocabulary items based on visual cues. The posters installed in the orphanage environment also have the potential to support independent vocabulary review beyond the training session. Therefore, educational posters can serve as a simple, economical, and applicable medium for supporting English vocabulary reinforcement among elementary school-aged children in orphanages.
