Storytelling has an important role in promoting children’s mental development (Davies, 2007; Gadzikowski, 2007). The use of picture in storytelling has widely recognised in EYL classroom (Rossiter, Derwing & Jones, 2008; Bonvillian and Floven, 2003). Since children aged 5-6 years old are not able to write and read yet, picture mapping method is implemented in this study following storytelling session. Picture map is used as tool for children to develop their communication and collaboration skills which are parts of 21st century skills. The research aimed to identify the development of 21st century skills in a storytelling activity that employed picture mapping in kindergarten classroom. The research protocols were transcribed recorded talk with students, observation documents, and video record. The results indicated that the developed 21st century skills were students’ skills which is shown by the capability in: (1) communicating ideas and thoughts with the use of picture map; (2) listening effectively to the story told by the teacher; (3) responding effectively to others during storytelling sessions; (4) communicating effectively in a bilingual atmosphere, and (5) express willingness to be helpful.
