Abstract: Traditional games result from a cultural process passed down from generation to generation. Nowadays, they are rarely found, while the younger generation prefers to play modern games. One of the traditional Banjar games that still survive today is bagasing. It is a game of spinning gasings and rammed it one another to see which one will stand last. This game has many values behind that potential to be explored as a source of learning in social studies education. This article aims to explain the traditional game of bagasing and its values. It is identical and played by children, but some are popular among adults. This research uses a qualitative approach. The stages of data analysis are as follows: 1) data reduction that is not following the focus of the study, 2) presenting the data in the form of descriptive narrative, and 3) drawing conclusions based on research findings to describe the research results systematically.
