Abstract

The development of religious values in early childhood is an important aspect of building children’s character and behavior from the early stages of development. Instilling religious values requires learning methods that are appropriate to children's characteristics so that the conveyed messages can be understood optimally. One method that can be applied is Islamic storytelling activities containing exemplary stories and Islamic values. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design to obtain an overview of the implementation of Islamic storytelling activities in developing religious values among early childhood learners. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation involving principals, teachers, and students as research informants. The findings indicated that the implementation of Islamic storytelling activities was carried out through planning, implementation, and evaluation stages adjusted to children's developmental characteristics. The implementation contributed positively to the development of religious values, positive habits, empathy, social behavior, and children's understanding of Islamic values in daily life..
