Bengkulu’s Traditional Games for Young Children

Traditional games are the result of past human cultural processes which are rich in local wisdom values. The games are played from generation to generation. They have many benefits, including vehicles and media, to stimulate early childhood development. However, traditional games are slowly starting to be forgotten; children tend to get used to the instant games available on smartphones or devices or other games that can be accessed in the centre of modern games. This habit causes children not to know what traditional games are. This research aimed to describe the existence of traditional games for early age children in Bengkulu. This research employed a literature study method. This study's results are expected to provide awareness to parents, teachers, and the community about the benefits of traditional games in stimulating children's development.
