Abstract

Writing literacy was one of the earliest known literacies in the history of human civilization. Writing literacy is classified as functional and great useful literacy in daily life, especially for low-grade students. The obstacle, the habit of writing in low class becomes a boring thing because the activities are carried out monotonously without any variation in learning. Moreover, in an increasingly modern era, lower class students are more preoccupied with technology, and it is feared that students will not be literate and do not recognize Minangkabau children's games, one of which is the finger game. Therefore, the main objective of this research was to improve writing skills based on Minangkabau children's games, namely by playing the finger. The results showed the emergence of the view that the game of finger as one of the cultures of Minangkabau children who were able to deliver early writing learning to realize writing literacy in the digital era. Early writing learning based on finger games was able to bring students into a pleasant writing habit.
