<![CDATA[This study aims to enhance the social behavior skills of children aged 5-6 years at Arifyan Kindergarten, Warunggunung District, Lebak Regency, through storytelling activities using picture media. The study was motivated by issues regarding children's suboptimal learning abilities in storytelling using picture media; the primary factors contributing to this problem were limited learning media and limitations in designing such media. This classroom action research employed the Kemmis & McTaggart cyclical model, which was originally developed by Kurt Lewin, with four stages in each cycle: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The research subjects were 25 children aged 5-6 years at Arifyan Kindergarten. The results demonstrate an improvement in children's social behavior skills through storytelling activities using picture media. In Cycle I, the results showed: 2 children (20%) were categorized as "Not Yet Developed" (BB); 3 children (20%) were "Starting to Develop" (MB); 4 children (59%) were "Developing as Expected" (BSH); and 2 children (41%) were "Developing Very Well" (BSB). Storytelling activities with picture media proved effective as visual and auditory stimuli that attract children's attention and help them understand storylines and moral values concretely.]]>
