Abstract
Storytelling activity is an effective method to enhance children’s presentation ability, logical thinking and imagination in elementary education. In this paper, researchers observed elementary school children in the course of Performing Art and discovered the difficulty for them to operate the puppets. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to take advantages from both technology and storytelling activities to solve this kind of problems. A real-time chromakey technique system which is able to composites the actors and the scenes in real-time is conducted for children to create plays intuitively as well as record their performance for sharing, therefore reduce the frustration and increase the motivation of children in creating stories.
