The  problem  in  this  research  is  the  undeveloped  cognitive  aspects  of children inclassifying objectsbasedon color, shape andsize.Thishappensbecauselearning is centeredinonedirection,theuseofmodels andmethods thatarenotappropriate, andlearning isnotyetinteresting.Sothatsomechildrendonothavetheability to developcognitiveabilitiesin classifyingcolor, shape andsizewell. Oneof the effortsmade to developthecognitiveaspectsofchildren inclassifying objectsbasedon color, shape andsizeby usingacombinationoftheExplicitIntructionModelwiththeMakeA Macth ModelandTalking Stick Model fortheChildrenofB  GroupTK Tunas SetiaDistrict Barito Kuala.  The  purpose  of  this  studyis  to describetheactivities ofteachers,children's activities, motivation to learn anddevelopchildren's cognitiveresultsin classifyingobjectsbased on color, shape and size.
