Abstract
This study aimed to: 1) Determine the implementation process in improving skills to make potato chips through training methods and 2) prove that the method of exercises can improve the skills of making potato chips in deaf children class V SDLB 20 Nanbalimo Solok City.This study removed using action research method (Classroom Action Research) conducted in collaboration with colleagues. Data were collected through observation and testing techniques, and then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively.

It proved: results asessmen Learning outcomes: children's ability to make potato chips with current training methods of assessment are: IN is (43.3%), while SC only (36.7%). After being given a lesson in the first cycle with training methods and cognitive ability for making potato chips IN is (86,7%) and SC was (80%). Cycle II results obtained IN (100%) and (93,3%) have been able to perform independently. It can be concluded that the method of exercises can improve the skills of making potato chips in deaf children class V SDLB 20 Nanbalimo Solok City.
