Rarely are they played in PAUD due to the fact that they have been replaced by modern games, whereas there are a lot of traditional games in every region. The Batak Toba traditional games can stimulate both motor skills and social-emotional development in early childhood. Types of games researched are Marsibahe, Marsitekka, and Marampera. This research aims to find out results on motor skills and social-emotional stimulation in early childhood through Batak Toba traditional games. The research was conducted to 18 children in a range of 5-6 years old in PAUD Anugerah in Tomok Village, Simanindo District, Samosir District in July-October 2015.
