This thesis is motivated by the importance of early character building in elementary school students. This study discusses the implementation of fairy tales as a medium in character building for second-grade students at Nurul Ittihad Elementary School in Jambi City. The focus of the study was the character building of responsibility and mutual assistance. Teachers successfully integrated these values through routine activities and class discussions. The study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that storytelling activities were effective in shaping students' character values. Most students demonstrated responsible and mutual assistance behavior by completing assignments on time, maintaining classroom cleanliness, working together in groups, and helping friends inside and outside the classroom. Despite obstacles such as limited time and diverse student conditions, the activity was effective and enjoyable. Fairy tales have proven to be a medium that is easily understood by early childhood students because they convey moral messages contextually and emotionally. In addition, fairy tales are able to attract attention, build emotional closeness, and strengthen teacher-student interactions. Thus, the use of fairy tales as a learning medium is not only entertaining, but also supports the overall development of positive character in students.
