Abstract

Traditional games are one of the Indonesian cultural that are full of local values. The values of local wisdom reflect the values, knowledge, and practices that are passed down from generation to generation and show the cultural identity of the local area that is constructively able to face increasingly dynamic global developments. The rapid development of technology poses challenges for everyone to be adaptive and to provide solutions in responding to every change and problem that has never been faced before. The integration of local wisdom of traditional games in learning can be a learning innovation that strengthens students' character as a provision to face global challenges. The aim of this research is to explore the use of traditional games in a game-based learning approach as a way of integrating local wisdom with character education. This research employed a literature review using ScienceDirect and Google Scholar search engine. The review includes 27 articles published in 2014-2024. The study found four study themes, namely Game-Based Learning (GBL); Traditional Games; Local Wisdom Approach in Learning, and Strengthening Character Education. The use of traditional games in learning includes aspects of physical and spiritual health, child growth and development, as well as religious values, integrity, collaboration, sportsmanship, togetherness, responsibility, and others that are positive in forming children's character.
