This study investigated the effect of using some communicative activities to enhance EFL oral performance and reduce the anxiety of primary language school pupils. The researcher adopted the quasi – experimental design. The participants were sixty sixth-year primary language school pupils from Al Wadi Al Shaky experimental language school, Abu Hammad Directorate, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, who were equally divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group.  The experimental group was taught by using some communicative activities and the control group received regular instruction. Data were collected through an EFL oral performance test, an EFL oral performance anxiety scale and an EFL oral performance observation card. These instruments were pre – and post administered to both groups. The study material was designed and administered during the second term of the academic year 2021/2022.The results indicated that a) the experimental group outperformed the control group as a result of adopting the communicative activities, b) the experimental group did better in the post administration of the EFL oral performance test, the EFL oral performance anxiety scale and the EFL oral performance observation card than in the pre administrations. Therefore, it can be concluded that using communicative activities is effective in enhancing EFL oral performance and reducing their EFL oral anxiety.
