Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic requires humans to adapt to new lifestyles and make changes in society, including children. The awareness of children regarding the importance of health protocols to protect themselves from exposure to the Coronavirus is still very lacking, including children in Hamlet of Tambakan. Physical restrictions also change children's activities in social interaction and other activities. The 111th UIN Sunan Kalijaga KKN team of Padukuhan Tambakan (Hamlet of Tambakan) developed programs to encourage children's awareness and prepare creative educational activities to fill their time. The method of implementing these activities uses a qualitative and psychoeducational approach. Participants in these programs are children aged 3–15 years from Padukuhan Tambakan which were later developed for a wider general scope. These work programs are carried out in the form of a video reading aloud storytelling with stories themed about the Coronavirus, and fairy tale storytelling and creativity activities with the theme of 17 August celebrations that are closely related to children's lives.
