Extracurricular activities are very popular in the United States. They are activities students do outside regular classes, such as sports, arts, clubs, or volunteering. They are usually optional but highly encouraged in middle school, high school, and college. Many students join extracurriculars to improve their college applications, but they are also a great way to make friends, learn new skills, and have fun.

Sports are one of the most common types of extracurricular activities. Boys and girls often play basketball, volleyball, baseball, or soccer. Sports help students stay active, make friends, and build teamwork skills. Music and arts activities are also very popular. Band, choir, and theater allow students to be creative, perform for others, and sometimes earn scholarships for their talents.

Academic clubs are another option. Math league, chess, and robotics clubs give students a chance to compete, solve problems, and meet like-minded peers. Student leadership activities, such as student council or event committees, teach students responsibility, teamwork, and public speaking.

Finally, many students participate in volunteering. They might help at food pantries, clean public spaces, or assist the elderly. Some schools even require students to complete a certain number of volunteer hours each year.
