The Role Playing learning approach aims to make learning more meaningful for students. The Role Playing learning approach, combined with multimedia resources, stands out as a chosen and viable strategy for overcoming emerging challenges. In this study, experimental research with a quantitative approach was applied to assess the impact of using storytelling learning models paired with various media on storytelling skills and writing stories in a fifth-grade elementary school class. Based on the assessment process that has been carried out, the results in this study are an assessment of typical differences in comprehension tests between experimental and control groups supporting the acceptance of H1 versus H0. With a bidirectional significance probability value of 0.005, H1 is accepted, and H0 is rejected because 0.000 is less than 0.05. Therefore, this study ensures that the Role Playing learning model has a significant influence on students' storytelling skills. Similarly, the evaluation of typical differences in comprehension tests between the experimental group and the control group also favored the acceptance of H1 over H0. With a bidirectional significance probability value of 0.005, H1 is accepted, and H0 is rejected because 0.000 is less than 0.05. In summary, role playing has a significant influence on students' storytelling skills. Assessment of typical differences in comprehension tests between the experimental group and the control group led to acceptance of H1 versus H0. With a bidirectional significance probability value of 0.005, H1 is accepted, and H0 is rejected because 0.000 is less than 0.05. In conclusion, Role Playing significantly affects students' ability to tell stories and write stories. Keywords: role playing, storytelling skills, story writing skills, audio-visual media.
