Keywords:
Traditional games, Child Characters, Character Education, Learning Game based.Abstract
The practice of traditional games is decreasing due to technological advances and the increasing use of gadgets among early childhood. Traditional games not only provide a fun play experience, but also contribute to developing a child's positive character, including discipline, cooperation, responsibility, honesty, sportsmanship, and social skills. This activity is carried out through the stages of preparation, implementation, observation, and evaluation, by displaying traditional games such as jumping rope, marbles, sticks, dende-dende (engklek), and Sandal Throwing. Children play in groups under the supervision of teachers, while simple observations and interviews are carried out. The data obtained showed that students participated in the activities with enthusiasm and showed active involvement during the process. They learn about cooperation, obedience to rules, queue culture, peer mutual respect, and responsibility. Traditional games have proven to be effective as a fun means of learning while supporting early childhood character development.
