Fun learning, which also represented as edutainment, specified as an educational method that merges entertaining and intriguing activities to enhance the learning progression. Through the attractive learning ambience, students are capable of capturing added values for education. In sequence, playful learning is pertinent to generate learners’ positive attitudes. The systematic literature review offers a summary of the fun learning influence against the development of students’ behavior. For the requirement, 25 selected articles between 2018 and 2023 were analyzed to focus on the key characteristics of this research matter. The major findings of this study display three main themes of emotional, behavioral, and cognitive engagements. It shows the accommodation of fun learning approaches made a construction process in students’ behavior.
