Introduction: Cublak Cublak Suweng (CCS) is one of the traditional games played by children in several regions of Indonesia, combining songs and dances. This game has a deep philosophy, but the educational values that emerged in the game have not been widely revealed. Objective: this study aims to explore the educational values that emerged in CCS. Method: we conducted participant observation to obtain data in schools in the East Java province where students still played CCS. The collected data were combined with literature on the philosophy of CCS. Then, the data were used in expert discussions to reveal the educational values that emerged in CCS. Results: the findings showed that CCS lyrics have a philosophy of how to seek or find the path of truth. CCS has three domains of educational values: collaboration and cooperation, critical and strategic thinking, and moral education. Conclusions: the study suggests that developing CCS games for learning is necessary to preserve traditional games, and they can be designed to empower learners’ skills. © 2025; Los autores.
