Data collection techniques use questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique uses inferential statistics with hypothesis testing using paired sample T-Test, N-Gain score. The results of the research from the t-test calculations obtained a value of t count > t table, namely 9,381 > 1,699 with a significance value of 000<0.05 so that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted, meaning that there was an increase in the cultural values of children aged 5-6 years from the traditional game congklak significantly 89.9%.
