Abstract :
The main problems faced by kindergarten
teachers are: 1) less game tools, 2) limited fund source since
most of the students come from low to middle families, 3)
teachers have lack of ability to develop sociocultural-based
games, and 4) lack of positive characters among kids and
teenagers because they receive no cultural introduction
since early stage. The research aimed to develop
sociocultural based-educational games (AlatPermainan
Educatif =APE) with criteria: contain positive character
values, easy to obtain, cheap, and appeal to children.
Research result indicated that six kindergartens had
developed each 7 types of APE applied in learning, namely:
Cugol, tinggoulo, tinggokasu, galaceng, sanadalemendaa,
gacci, andPatolele. Educationally, games developed
contained positive character values (honesty, obedience to
social rules, discipline, self-confidence, politeness,
toughness, risk takers, intelligence, logical thinking,
critical, creative and innovative, environmental awareness,
respect the work and achievement of others, mutual
assistance, and responsibility) as well as improve teachers’
creativity.
