Learning media is everything that can be used in learning so that learning objectives can be achieved. This study aims to describe the practicality of a character- charged card learning media called Nature and Job Cards (N&J Cards) on the material of natural appearance, artificial appearance and type of work in grade V elementary school. This type of research is research and development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model (analyze, design, development, implementation, evaluation). The data collection techniques in this study are questionnaires, observations and documentation. The data analysis technique carried out is the analysis of the responses of teachers and students of grade V elementary school. The data on the completed response questionnaire instrument are then analyzed quantitatively by calculating the total score for all indicators which is then analyzed with a formula to determine the practicality value. The results of the study averaged teacher responses to the media practicality score of 92.5% and the average student response to the media practicality score of 89.69%. Based on the results of the practicality test, it can be seen that the N&J cards media developed are included in the criteria of being very practical to use in learning.
