Method: The type of research used is Classroom Action Research. The subjects of this research were all 22 Keas IV students at SD Negeri Kutowinangun Salatiga for the 2023/2024 academic year. Result and Discussions: The research results showed a significant increase in students' social emotional competence and activeness. At the pre-cycle stage, many students are less active and unable to control their emotions well. However, through traditional implementation, there was an increase in the average score in both social emotional competence and student activity. Cycle 1 shows an increase from the very poor category to poor, while cycle 2 shows a further increase to the good category. Traditional games have proven effective in improving students' social interaction, cooperation and communication skills.
