Abstract: This study seeks to find out if a series of fun learning activities conducted in a public speaking classroom is effective to lower anxiety level among students. In accordance with this, the current study was conducted employing a one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design. These tests were carried out using questionnaires to determine students’ level of public speaking anxiety. It is found that there is a significant difference in the students’ level of public speaking anxiety after encountering the treatment based on fun learning activities designed. Some recommendations and ideas with regard to the fun activities used to teach public speaking skills are discussed.
