This article focuses on the dynamics of games that are played in Aceh society and its changes within society’s life in general. Which means this article would want to describe the existence of traditional games and the cause of their erosion by the changes within Aceh society’s changes. With an ethnography approach, researcher attempt to describe diachronically the dynamics of traditional games and the changes within Aceh society. Researcher used participatory observation method and in-depth interview as well as literature study to understand the development changes of the traditional games done by research subject. This research explains that there are several traditional games still existing within Aceh society, such as ‘maen guli’ (marbles game), kites, ‘maen canci pet’ (hide and seek), ‘chee-chee’ (hopscotch). Traditional games are one of the forms of character building within Aceh society, from religion, cultural, social and educational aspects. These games are highly enjoyed by Aceh people, not only the children but also adults and parents love playing them. Even though empirical proof shows there are shift or gradual changes from traditional games to modern ones caused by increasingly advanced culture and technology.
