The aim of this research was to examine the improvement of counting numbers process in early math among B group students through leng kali leng traditional game. The participants were 20 children from B group. They were in 5-6 years old. A leng kali leng traditional game was used to teach early math. Research method used action research. The qualitative data were collected through classroom observation, check list and students’ worksheet. The improvement of early math process skills were examined through descriptive statistic. Result showed that the early math process skills improved after the intervention of learning. The research also revealed that traditional game was motivating; it provides meaningful contexts for children to play mathematical ideas and skills while reducing the fear of failure and errors, since they can always play again.
