Humour is used in teaching and it is being considered as an effective and appreciated tool for teaching. Studies in this area indicate the importance of using humour in the process of capturing and maintaining students’ attention, in creating a positive relationship between teachers and students, in reducing stress and tension in the classroom, facilitating learning and supporting good retention, developing creativity and in streamlining teaching in general. Humour can act as a strong retrieval cue, as humorous information is remembered well. Humour activates deeper processing which leads to a stronger association between the humorous content and the material that has to be remembered. Creation of favourable environment for learning and creating pleasant social climate are the additional positive aspects of humour. In this study experimental method was used to test the effectiveness of humour in the academic achievement of students in Hindi grammar. The Sample selected was 60 students from VIIIth standard.
