Traditional games are an important part of Indonesia's cultural heritage and provide significant educational potential for fostering learners' social and cultural values. However, rapid technological development has reduced children's participation in traditional games, limiting opportunities to develop values such as cooperation, honesty, sportsmanship, discipline, and solidarity. This study aims to identify the social and cultural values embedded in traditional games, analyze effective educational strategies for integrating them into learning, and formulate an implementation model applicable to schools, families, and communities. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Fifteen eligible journal articles published between 2021 and 2024 were analyzed using thematic synthesis. The findings revealed three major educational strategies: integrating traditional games into classroom learning, strengthening collaboration among schools, families, and communities, and revitalizing traditional games through community-based cultural activities. These strategies effectively enhance learners' social skills, cultural awareness, and character development. The study concludes that traditional games are not only recreational activities but also valuable educational resources for strengthening social and cultural values. Therefore, their integration into formal and non-formal education is essential to support sustainable character education and cultural preservation.
