Abstract:	This research aimed at identifying the lexicon of traditional Balinese games and the understanding of the Balinese alpha generation regarding this lexicon. This research used a mixed-method model with a sequential exploratory design. The researchers collected qualitative data using interview techniques with three informants, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique to identify the lexicon of traditional Balinese games. The qualitative data were analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. After the lexicon of traditional Balinese games had been identified, the researchers used these findings to create an objective test. That test was used to measure the understanding of the Balinese alpha generation living in rural and urban areas regarding this lexicon. The samples in this study were selected using a quota sampling technique. One hundred children were selected from rural area, and another one hundred were selected from urban area. The test results from the two groups were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test. This research found 86 lexicons in traditional Balinese games, which can be classified into lexicons of game names, tools, and rules. Regarding word class, these lexicons can be categorized into nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Furthermore, the students in rural area had a better understanding on the lexicons in traditional Balinese game than students in urban area. However, in general, students' understanding of both in rural and urban areas is still low because they only understand a small part of the existing lexicons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
