Pelaksanaan Penguatan Pendidikan Karakter (PPK) di sekolah dasar menjadi sorotan yang sedang gencar dilakukan untuk membenahi karakter yang semakin merosot. Salah satu karakter yang harus dikembangkan pada siswa sekolah dasar adalah sportivitas. Program yang dirancang di sekolah seyogyanya dapat mendukung perkembangan karakter sportivitas siswa. Salah satu program yang dapat mengintegrasikan pendidikan karakter sportivitas adalah kegiatan outbound. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkap hubungan kegiatan outbound dalam rangka membentuk karakter sportivitas siswa sekolah dasar. Hubungan tersebut dibahas melalui berbagai sumber literatur. Berdasarkan hasil kajian literatur yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan outbound yang dilakukan di alam terbuka dalam bentuk permainan yang menyenangkan berimplikasi pada karakter sportivitas siswa sekolah dasar. Permainan-permainan dalam kegiatan outbound secara sadar membuat siswa beradaptasi dan menjalin kerja sama. Peraturan dalam permainan kegiatan outbound membentuk karakter sportivitas siswa untuk menaati peraturan yang ditetapkan oleh panitia outbound. Guru dapat memaksimalkan pendidikan karakter sportivitas melalui kegiatan yang menyenangkan di luar kelas seperti alam terbuka namun tetap sarat aturan yang mendidik siswa melalui kegiatan outbound. The implementation of Strengthening Character Education (PPK) in elementary schools is in the spotlight which is being intensively carried out to fix the declining character. One of the characters that must be developed in elementary school students is sportsmanship. Programs designed in schools should be able to support the development of the student's sportsmanship character. One of the programs that can integrate sportsmanship character education is outbound activities. This study aims to reveal the relationship of outbound activities in order to form the sportsmanship character of elementary school students. This relationship is discussed through various literature sources. Based on the results of the literature review, it shows that outbound activities carried out in the open in the form of fun games have implications for the sportsmanship character of elementary school students. Games in outbound activities consciously make students adapt and cooperate. The rules in the outbound activity game shape the student's sportsmanship character to obey the rules set by the outbound committee. Teachers can maximize sportsmanship character education through fun activities outside the classroom such as the outdoors but still full of rules that educate students through outbound activities.
