Warm greetings from my path, I am so happy and delighted to have you all on my blog, thanks for every minute spent here on my blog to read from my content and I do not take it for granted.

How can extracurricular activities help children's physical and mental growth?
Extracurricular activities are also called recreational activities and it is an activity observed during leisure periods and time and most of these activities makes one feel happy and strengthened through exercises. It is very important for children and helps their mental health. Not only important for children but for all adults.
These extracurricular activities teaches the children alot that humanly we might not believe in the possibility. An instance is the games played in the field, children loves to play outside home because they meet their peers to reason together, form some kinds of play and bring it to reality and by so doing, their metal reasoning is been put in place.
Do today's children like extracurricular activities, or are they forced to participate by their parents?
Yes! I am of the believe that in this 21st century, children are shifting their attention from education to reacreational activities i.e activities that makes them have fun and they run away from things that dulls their spirits. So, they love it, I mean we love extracurricular activities because I am part of the 21 century.
From all I see this days, before a parent would declare that a child should go out for play, the child has already arrived the play ground beside that is what children likes, parents don't need to stress themselves to tell them to play, or observe extracurricular activities infact, some children snicks from home to go for their extracurricular activities .
Is extracurricular activity necessary for children?
It is very necessary for children. These activities does not only help a child mentally but it also help them in diverse ways. In our schools we observe extracurricular activities be it primary, secondary and tertiary institute because the government or education board has seen the need and importance of recreational activities in children life.
I believe in the fact that these activities can take their attention from studies but according to the plans of calender, there is time for everything and season for everything as well. A child should never use period of learning for extracurricular activities and that is why the name is called extracurricular activities which means an activity observed outside our official activities e.g schooling and work.
Which are the best extracurricular activities for today's children?
There are a lot of good, better and best extracurricular activities that is best for children and I remember when I was teaching the primary 3 pupils on recreational activities we mentioned alot that are best for children and some of these activities are:
- Volleyball games
- Football games
- High jump
- Watching movies
- Sleeping e.t.c

Absolutely @dave-hanny. Extracurricular activities are super important for kids. They don't just help them mentally, but in so many other ways too. You know, in schools, we see these activities everywhere, from primary to secondary to even tertiary institution. And It's because the government and education board have realized the need and importance of recreational activities in children's lives. They understand that these activities have a positive impact on kids' overall development. So, it's a big thumbs up for extracurricular activities.
Your comments are warming Bros thanks for your time and I wish you the very best.
Greetings friends,
it's very true extracurricular activities dull a child's spirit. Children's activities outside of text education can continue the process of children's mental development. As you mentioned volleyball, football high jump or other sports make children physically and mentally stronger. I am a member of this group by keeping the spirit of the school scout children strong. Good luck to you.
Thank you my friend, extracurricular activities are very good and important in child's health too and I wish you the very bedt.
