Street children generally live in a less supportive environment, with inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and a lack of health information. These make street children vulnerable to health problems. Increasing motivation for a clean and healthy lifestyle in street children is a good solution to maintain their health. The Heath-Trace Map game is a learning media that can be used as motivation. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of the Health-Trace Map game as health education media towards motivation on clean and healthy lifestyles among street children. The One Group Pre-Post Test design was used in this study. 30 street children had joined this study. The Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test with a significant level of α < 0.05 was performed to analyse the data. The results showed the p value = 0, 000 (p value < α = 0, 05), from which it can be concluded that the Media Health Trace Map Game had an effect on increasing the Motivation of Clean and Healthy Life Behaviour among Street Children in Surabaya.
