Character education is one of the main goals of primary education, particularly at the early grades of elementary school. Traditional games can be utilized as a means to instill character and cultural values. Traditional games that incorporate local wisdom have a significant influence on shaping children's character. Traditional games such as Long Dragon Snake are favored by children, encourage togetherness, and strengthen the character of caring. This study aims to describe the development and implementation of the traditional game Ular Naga Panjang based on local wisdom in shaping students' caring character, as well as to analyze its effectiveness.

The subjects of this study were early-grade students in Phase A, specifically first-grade elementary school students. The instruments used included

observations, documentation, and interviews with teachers. Data analysis was carried out through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the application of the traditional Long Dragon Snake Game based on local wisdom in learning can foster students' caring character. This is supported by observations, documentation, and interviews, which depict students enthusiastically participating in the game and song, as well as actively using caring expressions without being prompted. One concrete piece of evidence is the change in students' behavior when a friend falls during the game; several students spontaneously help the friend who has fallen.

This traditional game is effective in building a sense of togetherness and social sensitivity because it contains local values such as deliberation, sincerity, and solidarity. In conclusion, the traditional Long Dragon Snake Game based on local

wisdom can serve as an alternative learning strategy for instilling a caring character in first-grade elementary school students.
