Three things that must be executed simultaneously in the process of improving the quality of education are: affective, cognitive, and psych motoric (Tim Kreatif LKM UNJ, 2011). The role of education is as a bridge to educate individual or social groups in order to be able to preserve the culture. As a cultured nation, individual within the http://ijaedu.ocerintjournals.org 86 IJAEDU- International E-Journal of Advances in Education, Vol. IV, Issue 10, April 2018 community group should uphold the values of religion, noble values, wisdom and character (Perpres, 87: 2017) so that the nation's culture remains inherent in Indonesian society. The current character crisis strucks the Indonesian nation, for example many mass media that preach that many teenagers who do activities which are not appropriate with social norms, such as: fights among students, free sex, drugs, and lack of respect to older people. This is a big challenge that we must face today. At least there are three things that make person has good character. They are knowing each other, having a sense of care, and trust for himself and the group (Juma, Abdu, p.139: 2012). Character education is one of the ways used to direct a person in living which accordance with the ethics and morals prevailing in a society (Istiningsih, p.35: 2016). The goal is to create a capable human being in the face of the dynamics of life in the future, and to repair the potential of all educational actors.

The success of the character education program is not being separated from the synergy between the community, schools and families (Anggriani, Purwanti, et all. p.29: 2016). For that, in improving the character education development needed the help parties either through the role of education and environment. The traditional games of Indonesia are the concept of a cultural heritage tradition passed down by the ancestors to every generation and preserved according to local wisdom. Traditional games can be used in strengthening the character of each player. Traditional games give values of character that can shape the individual attitude to be better in the future.
