The development research design has used the procedure of investigating the needs followed by developing the information, developing the product design, validation tests, and trials to the product. The results show that the traditional game "Ride the Train" is considered appropriate and effective as a learning model which consists of the objectives, the roles, the characters, the provisions, and the regulations following school conditions and situations. The results of the skill the assessment showed that all students were able to get grades with increased distribution, according to statistical tests, showing a count of -22,477, and p-value of 0.000 or less than 0.05. The conclusion is a significant difference in learning outcomes after being given this game model.
