The Benefits of Extracurricular Activities or After-school Activities

Find information on after-school activities for children of all ages to teenagers. 1001 offers a range of activities that can complement an existing hobby or introduce your child to a new interest including rugby, football and multi-sports to dance, drama, riding, arts & crafts and cookery classes.

There’s no better way for a child to build up essential skills than through entertaining and fun after-school activities that incorporate learning. Find out why joining an after school activity is so important for your child – and the wealth of benefits they can look forward to. And while each activity will teach your child different skills, there are some common benefits you can look forward to, whichever one you pick.

Improve Physical and Mental Wellbeing
Nowadays children spend time watching TV or playing online games. And while get lost in technology for a while isn’t bad, it’s important that your child get more exercise. Exercise is vital for good mental and physical health. Many children feel more relaxed after engaging in an after school activity. Afternoon activities also help to tire your child out, which makes it more likely they’ll get a good night’s sleep. Exercise is a healthy way for children to relax and let off steam. It doesn’t matter whether your child is a budding ballerina or a football fan, every minute of exercise counts

Develop Socially and Build Teamwork and Problem-solving Skills
Teamwork skills are an important life skills, making it easier to make and keep good friends. And getting your child involved in a team after school will help them learn how to work with others from an early age, and teach them important social skills. There are plenty of team-building after school activities to choose from, including sports like football, and rugby, which help to keep them moving as they learn to interact with others. If sport isn’t their thing, why not look into dance or drama classes?

Learn a New Skill
Extracurricular activities are also a great opportunity to pick up a new skill. From chess to rugby, piano to drama, your child can develop their skills in a safe, fun environment.
