Java language is one of traditional language of Indonesia which have high state and price. Because of that, Government must be kept and preserv the Java language. One form of reverence and maintenance over language is by inserting the Java language as a subject in schools ( formal ) whose territory includes speakers of Javanese. Although the Java language has been included/put in curriculum but siswa kurang begitu menguasai sebagian besar materi yang disampaikan oleh guru. It was caused the matter is very much but the time is limited. Moreover java language is rarely used by the children as their communication language day. So many teachers have problem and find difficulty when conveying the Java language lesson to student.

 Keep in mind, currently java language is developed and preserved by another country. In Holand and America many children very excited to learn Java language. So poor us, because in own country the Java language is less noted. Many children can’t speaking in Java language because their parents are less introduce children to the Java language. During this time the Java language is also considered less old and classy. As a result the Java language does not recognize anymore the longer even vanish by itself with proven less tert. A strategy is needed to cultivate children’s interest to the Java language. The children’s interest is a initial capital for them to learn the Java language.

E.  Discussion

Testing includes test media to media expert and expert material. Each expert test done twice. On the test of the first media expert researchers do revision on images, interactivity, and the affective aspect should be developed. The test results of this media expert get score eligibility of 77.1% indicating that the media made these viable for the revision. In the second test to the media expert, suggested that the use of the media need to be varied, and it is recommended for further observation/test done to students. As for the eligibility test score of 84,28% media expert with the criteria is very worthy of being tested and done without revision.

The first testing on a matter, we revise the words that speak Indonesia replaced with Java language, and the image on the screen. As for the eligibility test score proficient this material of 62,85% with pretty decent criteria for these with the revision. On the second matter expert testing, all the aspects assessed were already very good, and not done the revision. As for the score's eligibility on the second matter expert test by 90% with a very decent for these criteria without revision. Based on the results of the test material and media experts then conducted field testing in small groups of 10 respondents.

In the step of a small group of 10 people respondents known that UUM indeed provide benefits for the respondent. Not only that, the look of UUM provide attraction to students so as to provide the motivation for students to learn the Java language. The material provided in this game also is in compliance with the Java language material in General as well as with problems such as crossword puzzles, but need to be made to make it easier to attract more students. With this game, UUM students become interested in Java language and delighted in learning the Java language.

Based on the data analysis, game “Uthak Uthik Mathuk” deserves to be implemented but still need developments in terms of the material, content, appearance, and others that are beneficial in improving students  motivation could be achieved.
