teaching methods to help students enhance their speaking abilities. developing
strong speaking abilities in students is a key aim. Accomplishing this objective
often requires using imaginative and interesting teaching techniques. One
increasingly popular method is incorporating ice breaker games into language
learning programs. Therefore, the researcher tried to implement an ice breaker
technique to increase students speaking ability. This study explores how ice breaker
activities can help improve students' speaking skills in English language learning.

quantitative approach to measure the impact of these games on speaking
proficiency.
The research aims to understand how students' speaking abilities change before and
after using ice breaker techniques in English classes. The study follows a preexperimental design, using a one-group pretest-posttest method to track changes in
students' speaking skills. The experimental group, Class 10.9, which consists of 35
students, participated in both pretest and posttest assessments. The researcher
utilized SPSS and Microsoft Excel to analyze the data, revealing an improvement
in the student's speaking abilities following the implementation of ice-breaking
games. The analysis was conducted using a Repeated Measures T-Test in SPSS,
with statistical significance determined at p {\ensuremath{<}} 0.05. The results indicated a
significant difference in the students'. This research adds to teaching discussions by
showing how effective ice breaker activities are for improving speaking skills and
offers practical advice for educators using these techniques in language learning
classrooms.
