Currently, elementary school students have been givens lessons related to cultural introduction. Based on the results of the interviews, the teachers experienced difficulties in practicing cultural material. Because to be able to practice traditional games require tools and a field for practicing. The next problem is the delivery of material in a traditionals way by teachers which causes the learning atmosphere to be less pleasant and a boring.
