The low level of decision-making ability among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students indicates the need for a learning approach that provides decision-making experiences which do not only emphasize physical aspects, but also develop the ability to think quickly and accurately. One relevant alternative is the use of the traditional game Rangku Alu combined with the cooperative learning model Teams Games Tournament (TGT). This study aims to describe the implementation of the Rangku Alu game based on the TGT cooperative model in physical education learning, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of its implementation, and analyze its contribution to the development of decision-making abilities of students at MI NU Nurul Haq. The research employed field research using a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, and data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The results show that the Rangku Alu game was implemented in a structured manner, supported by students’ enthusiasm, active teacher involvement, and school facilities. Students demonstrated improvement in decision-making abilities as indicated by several indicators: (1) the ability to imitate others’ movements (imitation), (2) performing movements accurately and precisely (precision), and (3) executing high-quality movements reflexively (naturalization). The traditional Rangku Alu game contributes to the development of motor skills and students’ psychomotor aspects, and serves as an appropriate medium for developing decision-making, cooperation, and communication skills. The implementation of traditional games in physical education provides enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences while supporting the objectives of physical education learning.
