This may sound strange, but I think this is so much fun. Instead of just telling what story your students will be listening/reading/watching, why don't you start a game? You can search for the games on the book or internet, or you can invent your own game.
A few days ago, I thought of an idea to use Picture Puzzle game in my classroom to have the students guess the title of a story. There was so much fun. They were happy and so was I.
How to use the game in the classroom?
PREPARATION
- Prepare a picture(s). You may capture by yourself or download from the internet. At that time, I downloaded a picture of cucumber and a picture of gold.
- Cut the pictures into some pieces. I cut the pictures using the following pattern.

- You may also stick a piece of double tip tape if you want your students to stick the picture on a piece of paper.
IMPLEMENTATION
- Ask the students to work in a group of three or four or in pair. Having the students work together can build their togetherness and responsibility.
- Ask them to solve the puzzles.
- Limiting the time gives more challenge to students.
- When time is up, you can discuss the correct pictures.
- Reward the fastest group who do correct job.
- After that, let the students guess the story title by associating the picture with a story title. For example: I had a picture of cucumber and gold. So, my students guessed Golden Cucumber (Timun Emas).
- If you use Tangkuban Perahu story, you can use a picture of a boat and a picture of mountain.
- If you use Malin Kundang story, you can use a picture of ship and stone.
- If you use Cinderella story, you can use a picture of glass slippers.
