Traditional games can create various aspects of children's development that contain meaning and have positive values. Traditional games are a type of folk game that represents the cultural wisdom of the Indonesian people, which grows and develops in certain communities and is passed down from generation to generation and is played by children. There are several types of traditional games including engklek, clogs, jumping rope. Lack of empathy and cooperation with fellow friends, still likes to fight over toys and likes to make fun of friends. The teacher asks children to get used to sharing, loving each other and helping other friends, even though this has been implemented, sometimes children still like to make fun of each other. Researchers use a qualitative approach. The methods used are observation, interviews and practice playing traditional games. The aim of this activity is to build the character of children aged 5-6 years through traditional games. Traditional game activities were participated in by the children of Dharma Wanita Sambirejo Kindergarten 6. The research results showed that traditional games were able to train children's cooperation, physical motor dexterity, discipline and children's ability to deal with emotions and love each other with their friends. Researchers hope that in the future the school can create a competitive program that includes games with positive values ​​that emphasize the togetherness of parents and children.
