This study aims to explore the integration of folklore in Social Science (IPS) learning as a method to instill cultural values in elementary school students. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study involves observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis at SD IT Al Maksum Stabat. The results of the study show that the use of folklore increases students' understanding of cultural values such as honesty, hard work, and mutual cooperation. Students also demonstrate increased motivation and engagement in the learning process, as well as the development of social and emotional skills. Teachers play an important role in planning and implementing effective learning, despite challenges such as limited sources of folklore and the need for training. Support from parents and the community also strengthens learning outcomes. It is recommended that schools integrate more folklore in the social studies curriculum and that the government provide adequate support, including teaching materials and teacher training. Further research with larger samples and a variety of contexts is needed to explore the long-term impact of this method.
