Preserving Indonesia Traditional Games

First of all the traditional game is one of the intangible heritage and the medium communication to express culture from the ancestor generation to the recent generation. Besides,I think traditional games are still indispensible in children's learning process, even much more essential than modern games, especially in modern society. One primary merit of traditional games is that they foster children's communication skills. Unlike most modern games which focus on the interactions between children and machines, traditional games provide a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere where children can chat, laugh and cooperate face to face. As a result, communicating with a variety of people will not be an issue for these children any more.

So far I am analizing the problem and observing the children social interaction now is going to be decrease in the way the communicate and interact each other. They prefer to choose playing with technology which is no human interaction involeve directly as good as tradional game. Whereas, children who grew up in 70’s-90’s era still chummy with the traditional games and toys. Which are many of advantage and wisdom inside of the traditional games such as sosialization, empathy , and creativity. But not for children who grew up after that era who they are more chummy with console game, virtual game and playstation.

Based on that case, I worry and concern to the traditional game that could be extinct in our next generation people. To prevent their extinction to collect then to socialize and to revive them to this new age children.
