It is said that "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Well, a healthy mind will never reside in a body that does only mental work. I indeed, feel that extra-curricular activities must be made compulsory in school.

1) It will provide a relief from the tiresome continuous lecture classes.

2) It will unveil the hidden talents of many students, who might have earlier not been able to show them because of lack of a suitable platform.

3) It will assist in making the students apply their knowledge, as they need to understand that application of their knowledge is very essential. For example, if a student X scores highest in the class in English Literature (by mugging up answers), but cannot write even a single paragraph error-free, then what is the use of his education?

4) The students would learn many moral values like cooperation, team work, patience, etc. Because such things can never be taught by lectures: they are learned when a student personally participates in such events.

5) Moreover, if a student due to some reasons, cannot participate in one activity, he can participate in another activity; such arrangements must be available in school.

Thus in my opinion, every school must have a list of extra-curricular activities and it must be compulsory for every student to participate in at least 1 of his choice.

According to me, I think extra curricular activities must be there in any schools. We all know that 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. This line signifies the importance of extra curricular activities. There are many students who are not that much interested in studies but interested in other activities like singing, dancing, gymnastics, cricket, badminton etc. So, if extra curricular activity is not there in schools then these students would not be able to showcase their talents. Moreover, extra curricular activities also increases concentration power and help in our studies also. Besides, it plays an important role in improvement of communication skills, time management etc.

If academics and extra-curricular activities are treated equally or given equal importance then personally I too feel that extra-curricular activities should be mandatory.

Hi friends.

See, the children of most of the schools are only lacking for one thing that is ''courage''. They don't have any courage to open up with their thoughts. Even I am also a student I go straight to my head misses if any of my teachers do anything which is against the rules of the school.

Definitely extracurricular activities should be a part of the curriculum in the schools. A child not only requires books for his development but games and other things makes him perfect. We can see that continuous study in classrooms makes boredom, but if we give some time to children to go in the ground, they will get refreshed.

Hi Guys.

Extra curricular activities should be made compulsory in school to improve the physical fitness of the children. By participating in all the events they should pay much concentration and their IQ level will be increased. The children are not easily suffered to any diseases.

Not only studies but also curricular activities play major role in the human life. By participating in curricular activities they have the knowledge more than on studies.

Hello Everyone.

I strongly believe that extra circular activities should be the part of school. They make learn various things and inculcate things in kids mind. Extra circular activities enhance the confidence, create leadership, remove hesitation and developed such sort of presentations skills.
