Background: Traditional games represent culturally grounded physical activities that integrate movement, social interaction, and value transmission within educational settings. However, limited availability of traditional sports facilities in schools often restricts students’ opportunities to engage in culturally meaningful physical education experiences.
Aims: This community service initiative aimed to develop traditional sports facilities and integrate them into physical education learning in order to enhance student participation, movement interest, and appreciation of local cultural values.
Methods: The program was implemented at SMAN 1 Loa Janan through a participatory approach involving physical education teachers, university students, and school stakeholders. Activities included needs assessment, collaborative design, construction of facilities such as stilts, clogs, spinning top Arenas, slingshot targets, and chopstick targets, followed by structured pedagogical integration into Physical Education, Sports, and Health lessons. Program effectiveness was evaluated descriptively through observation and teacher assessments of student engagement and participation.
Result: The availability of culturally contextualized facilities led to a substantial increase in active participation, with engagement rising from approximately 54% in conventional sessions to 87% during traditional game activities. Additionally, 82% of students reported increased interest in physical education, and structured practice sessions demonstrated notable improvement in skill consistency and collaboration.
Conclusion: The development of traditional sports facilities effectively enhanced student motivation, participation, and social interaction while revitalizing local play culture. This initiative demonstrates that culturally responsive infrastructure, when integrated pedagogically, can serve as a sustainable strategy for strengthening physical education and preserving cultural heritage in schools.
