Cognitive development, especially in terms of mathematical logic, is very important in early childhood as it forms the foundation for further learning. Although traditional games are a natural and enjoyable way to enhance the mathematical logic of early childhood in KB Riyadhul Qori'ah, they have not been well utilized in many early childhood education institutions. This research uses a comprehensive literature study approach and employs a hypothetical framework of Classroom Action Research (CAR) when applied. The hypothesis is that data was collected through observation and document analysis. Furthermore, the data were analyzed descriptively in both qualitative and quantitative ways. The results show that traditional games such as congklak, engklek, snake and ladders, and ball marbles have strong ethnomathematics elements and can significantly enhance children's counting skills, pattern recognition, classification, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning. Traditional games have proven to be useful as a fun and contextual learning medium for improving the mathematical logic intelligence of early childhood. This supports educational practices at KB Riyadhul Qori'ah.
