As an effort to prevent the transmission of Covid-19, people are required to implement new habits by
maintaining social distancing and implementing health protocols. Health protocols must not only be
understood by adults, but it is also important to apply them to children Socialization of health protocols to
children must be conveyed through interesting and fun activities according to their stages of growth and
development. The storytelling method is a method that is quite effective in attracting someone's attention,
when telling a story to a child, his imagination and emotion will be awakened. To further attract children's
interest, storytelling can be done using hand puppets (handpupets). To increase the enthusiasm and
enthusiasm of preschool-age children in implementing the health protocol, a hand washing exercise
competition was also held, which was participated in by kindergarten/PAUD students in the Tarogong
Village area. The results of the activity show that various and interesting methods are quite effective in
building preschool-aged children's understanding and awareness of the importance of implementing
health protocols
