The existence of traditional games such as marbles, tug of war, towboat, climbing areca, and slingshot in Indonesia started to be forgotten along the new era of digitalization. These games can have many aspects to be learned especially in terms of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Based on data, many students in Indonesia are struggled in grasping and understanding various STEM educations. One of the solutions to attract students’ interest in games is by using a game-based method. Learning STEM using games can give positive effects on students'. Hence, this research aimed to build awareness and recognition of traditional games by implementing the physics concept in one of the courses taught in university engineering course which is engineering dynamic course through project-based learning activity. Through the efforts of incorporating both traditional games and dynamics physics, it is expected that the students recognize the cultural heritage and gain deeper comprehension of how dynamic function in a tangible context. The class is divided into groups consist of 2-3 students and asked to select one of the Indonesia traditional games to be explored and identified. The dynamics concept that are used are motion and forces which includes the concept of equilibrium, kinematics, momentum, energy, collision, impulse. The students are then presented their work and discussed it in the class. The students show their enthusiasm knowing the concept of dynamics can be related to Indonesia traditional game. Moreover, the result shows that Indonesia’s traditional games can be interpreted into scientific knowledge and applicable.
