Benefits of extracurricular activities at school

How to choose the best extracurricular activity?

Psychologists agree. It is essential to choose an activity jointly between family and student, knowing previously the characteristics and needs of each one of them. In this way, students will not feel that the activity is imposed on them but will treat it as a leisure period.

Planning is also important so that the student manages to enjoy these activities without feeling overwhelmed by the number of activities planned in one day.

Generating realistic expectations is essential. Controlling them will help not to create frustrations in the students for not feeling fulfilled. If we get involved in all these guidelines we will make each student feel that he/she is enjoying himself/herself while learning a new discipline.
