Therefore, the researcher formulated this study with the title "The Influence of Puppet Show Media on Students' Listening Skills in Theme 2 Class 3 SDN 1 Syamtalira Bayu".

Sources of research data were all grade III of SDN 1 Syamtalira Bayu, totaling 21 students in the experimental class and 21 students in the control class. The data collection technique in this study was a test with the results of the research that there was an influence by using Puppet Show media on the listening ability of class III students. In testing the hypothesis, the price of tcount is 2,164 and ttable is 1,683 after testing at a significant level α = 0.05/2 and df = 40 based on the criteria for testing the hypothesis, then reject H0, because tcount > table, namely 2,164 > 1,683, then Ho is rejected, Ha is accepted, which means there is an influence in the use of puppet show media on students' listening skills on the theme of class 2 class III SDN 1 Syamtalira Bayu.
