Language skills include four basic skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. One of the main language skills for communication is speaking skills. And one of the speaking abilities is telling stories. So that learning media is needed that can make children confident to tell stories in front of the class, one of which is by using hand puppet media. So researchers need to conduct research related to the benefits of hand puppet media as well as the problems and solutions of using hand puppet media to increase confidence in telling stories about onions and garlic in Indonesian for class IV SDN Rayung 03 Senori. This study uses a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. The results of this study indicate that: (1) the use of hand puppet media at SDN Rayung 03 Senori has been going quite well and according to the steps in its application. The steps in using the hand puppet media include the planning stage, namely the teacher prepares material and media, the next stage is the implementation of the teacher giving examples of the use of hand puppet media, then students take turns practicing, and the last stage students review the contents of the story that has been practiced. The results obtained show that the activities during the learning process after using the hand puppet media in storytelling activities have increased compared to before using the hand puppet media from an average of 61.2 to 78.4, (2) the problem that occurs is the lack of time needed as well as the lack of appreciation of some students in storytelling practice. The solution offered is asking students to read and understand the material at home, as well as providing rewards for students who really practice telling stories
