Extracurricular activity

An extracurricular activity is something fun and educational that you do outside of school. It's like having a hobby or playing a sport on a team. Some examples of extracurricular activities are dance, music lessons, sports like soccer or basketball, joining a scouting group or a robotics team, or even volunteering to help out in your community. These activities can help you learn new skills and make new friends, while also giving you a break from schoolwork. They also look good on a college application, which is like a report card for when you want to go to a big school after you graduate.
