This study aimed to develop a Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning model based on the traditional games of the Aru community for elementary school students. The study was conducted in Mesiang Village, South Central Aru District, Aru Islands Regency, a remote 3T area with limited learning facilities. This research used a research and development design adapted into five stages: needs analysis, model design, expert validation, limited trial, and product revision. The participants consisted of 50 students from SD Negeri 1 Mesiang, SD Negeri 2 Mesiang, and SD Kristen Mesiang. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, expert validation sheets, and student response questionnaires. Data were analyzed descriptively using qualitative interpretation and percentage scores. The results showed that the material expert validation reached 87% and the learning expert validation reached 85%, both categorized as highly feasible. Limited and field trials obtained student response scores of 88.3% and 89%, respectively. The developed model integrates Aseng (Hadang), Toki Gaba, Jump Rope, and Ambil Batu to strengthen locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills, while fostering cooperation, discipline, responsibility, and sportsmanship. The final product is a PJOK learning book based on Aru local culture as a contextual learning reference and cultural preservation medium in elementary schools.
