Traditional Games to Train Prosocial Attitudes In Early Childhood At Kb Annisa Cirebon City

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of integration of traditional games in the learning process at KB Annisa Playgroup in Cirebon City. To assess children's prosocial attitudes, at the beginning of the activities or pre-cycle, children were still engaged in activities such as playing with synthetic sand, weaving banana leaves, and playing with blocks. The achievement of prosocial attitude development at KB Annisa still rarely involves traditional games. Traditional games have a positive impact on children at KB Annisa. The traditional games included in this research were gobak sodor, bakiak, cat and mouse, and tug of war. The aim was to develop the prosocial attitudes of 15 children aged 4-5 years. This research employed Classroom Action Research with John Elliot's method through 2 cycles. The results in the pre-cycle showed a score of 20% which is still considered low, in cycle 1 it increased to 40%, and cycle 2 resulted in 80%. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that traditional games can develop children's prosocial attitudes including: being able to cooperate, being able to play with peers, obeying the applicable rules, having self-confidence, and being responsible
