The development of digital technology has a significant impact on children's lives, especially the increase in excessive use of gadgets which has the potential to cause dependence. Dependence on gadgets in children can hinder social, emotional, and physical development, as well as reduce interaction and creativity skills. This study aims to examine the use of traditional games based on local culture as an alternative solution in overcoming gadget dependence on children in the digitalization era. The research method used is library research by examining five relevant scientific articles published in the range of 2020–2025. Data collection was carried out through Google Scholar searches using keywords related to traditional games, gadget dependence, and the digitalization era. The results of the study show that traditional games based on local culture are effective in reducing the intensity of gadget use in children, while increasing physical activity, social interaction, creativity, and character building. Thus, the use of traditional games based on local culture has great potential as an educational and preventive strategy in balancing children's development in the midst of digitalization through the involvement of families, schools, and communities
