Traditional Games

Annur Galeh Pamungkas, a student of Elementary-School Teacher Education of Physical Education at UNY, feels that the current level of gadget addiction in children is quite alarming. Childhood is a time for growth and development that should be filled with learning to socialize and play. For this reason, Galeh teaches children in Giwangan to learn traditional games, namely egrang batok (shell stilts), bakiak (clogs), and jumping rope.

There are still many parents or teachers, especially teachers of Physical Education subjects who do not realize that sports activities should not only focus on physical development but must also work on other aspects namely psychological, social, and spiritual.
