Oracle drop table if exists is throwing an error starting at line 1: in command

We are trying to drop all tables in a database and then create them again, but oracle is throwing an error. the error report is:

Error report -
ORA-06550: line 12, column 1:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "CREATE" 
06550. 00000 -  "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:

and the code is:

BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || EMPLOYEE;
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP TABLE ' || ADDRESS;

EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS THEN
      IF SQLCODE != -942 THEN
         RAISE;
      END IF;
END;

CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE(
    EmployeeID int,
    FirstName varchar(225),
    LastName varchar(255),
    Position varchar(255),
    SSN int,
    Address varchar(255),
    Phone int,
    AddressID int,
    
    PRIMARY KEY (EmployeeID),
    FOREIGN KEY (AddressID) REFERENCES ADDRESS(AddressID)
);

CREATE TABLE ADDRESS(
    AddressID int,
    Street varchar(225),
    City varchar(225),
    State varchar(225),
    Zip int
);

We want to do this for all tables but so far it's not working for the two tables we are trying to drop at the start.
