Melestarikan Permainan Tradisional Gasing Sunda dalam Buku Cerita Bergambar

Abstract

Berbagai manfaat positif bagi tumbuh kembang anak bisa didapatkan dari permainan tradisional, namun sayangnya arus perkembangan kemajuan zaman semakin menyisihkan keberadaannya. Anak-anak yang biasanya berperan sebagai pemain kini sudah jarang memainkan permainan tradisional. Perubahan pola bermain anak-anak didasari berbagai faktor pendukung seperti sedikit tersedianya informasi, sarana maupun pra-sarana untuk kegiatan bermain. Permainan tradisional Gasing Sunda merupakan salah satu kekayaan budaya yang dimiliki oleh Rakyat Sunda di Jawa Barat, dalam hal ini perancangan buku cerita bergambar permainan tradisional Gasing Sunda diharapkan menjadi media autentik yang dapat disimak secara informatif oleh anak-anak. Dengan adanya buku ini diharapkan mampu menginformasikan kepada anak-anak untuk memahami permainan Gasing sebagai salah satu bagian budaya bangsa Indonesia yang perlu untuk dilestarikan.

ABSTRACT

Various positive benefits for the growth and development of children can be obtained from traditional games; however, unfortunately, the current trend of technological advancement is gradually sidelining their existence. Children, who used to play the roles of players in traditional games, are now rarely engaging in them. Changes in children's play patterns are influenced by various supporting factors such as the limited availability of information, facilities, and preconditions for play activities. The traditional game of Gasing Sunda is one of the cultural treasures owned by the Sundanese people in West Java. In this regard, the design of an illustrated storybook featuring the traditional game of Gasing Sunda is expected to serve as an authentic medium that can be informatively appreciated by children. Through this book, it is hoped that children will be informed and gain an understanding of Gasing as one of the cultural aspects of the Indonesian nation that needs to be preserved.
