Review

This service activity addresses a highly relevant and timely issue concerning the erosion of local cultural identity, specifically through the decline of traditional games, in the face of modern technological advancements. The abstract effectively highlights the critical problems, such as children's lack of knowledge and interest, reduced physical activity, and potential disruptions to physical, mental, and social development, ultimately leading to cultural fading. Focusing on Nongkosawit Village, a tourist village with cultural preservation potential, the initiative to support the Hompimpa community in reintroducing these games is commendable and underscores a proactive approach to safeguarding invaluable local wisdom. The proposed intervention centers on strengthening the Hompimpa Community as a key driver for the preservation and reintroduction of traditional games to the younger generation. The outlined methodology, encompassing activity preparation, problem review, implementation, program evaluation, and reporting, suggests a structured approach to the service delivery. Targeting 120 elementary school children at the Sidosari Field, the project aims to foster active physical engagement and reignite interest in traditional play. This practical, community-based approach is well-suited for addressing the identified challenges directly at the grassroots level. The stated outcomes of this service activity indicate a positive initial impact, with the Hompimpa Community demonstrating consistency in its efforts to introduce and preserve traditional games. Furthermore, the abstract reports success in cultivating active participation among the young generation of Nongkosawit Village, leading to the creation of a "better quality of life." While the abstract provides a concise summary of the positive results, a full journal paper would benefit from elaborating on the specific metrics used to assess "consistency" and "active participation," as well as the long-term sustainability plans for the Hompimpa community to ensure continued cultural preservation beyond the immediate project duration. This work represents a valuable contribution to community service and cultural heritage efforts.
