Humans as cultured creatures can empower their potential to optimize cultural aspects. One way to develop these cultures is through traditional games. Traditional games in Aceh such as hopscotch, tam-tam buku, ureung buta (blind people game), talo yeye (lumpat taloe) (in war jump game), meuen gala (group game by wood), serimbang (play bg pilling), che (hopscotch) and meupet-pet Nyet (hide and seek) very often played by children, but as the development of the times and technological developments are increasingly rapidly this has an impact on the existence of games traditional. Currently, the types of games, how to play, children's play tools have changed. Although the traditional game is very old, but it has the role education can help the development of children age prematurely. But even so, there are times when teachers, parents and children themselves often ignore to traditional games.
