3. What do yo mean by Co-Curricular Activities?
Also referred to as ‘extracurricular activities,’ activities which fall outside the regular academic curriculum and
a part of the school life is called Co-Curricular Activity.
Co-Curricular Activities are beneficial for students in several ways. Let us see some of the benefits of
extracurricular activities:
1. Better Physical & Mental health
2. Create Opportunities
3. Sense of Responsibility & Confidence
4. Development of Special Skills
5. Exposure to New Activities

4. 2. Create Opportunities
In this highly competitive world, better grades act as game changers while taking admissions in other
schools, colleges, or institutions. Co-curricular activities provide better opportunities as students
pursuing these activities are given more preference over those who aren’t involved in such types of
activities.
1. Better Physical & Mental health
These types of activities require students to stay active by active participation in some co-curricular
activities. Since they have no chance to skip these as it’s a part of their daily curriculum. Studies have
shown that students pursuing some or other hobbies get better results in their studies.

5. 4. Development of Special Skills
In this highly competitive world, better grades act as game changers while taking admissions in other
schools, colleges, or institutions. Co-curricular activities provide better opportunities as students pursuing
these activities are given more preference over those who aren’t involved in such types of activities.
3. Sense of Responsibility & Confidence
When at an early stage of life, children are given tasks of responsibility to handle; they become much better in
handling these types of odd situations in their later life too. This fosters a sense of self-confidence,
accountability & responsibility within them.

6. 5. Exposure to New Activities
Students are introduced to a wide range of activities that give them better strength while letting them choose
what they wish to learn what they enjoy.
Co-curricular activities in schools help students sharpen their communication skills, expression skills, public
speaking, participation, and sense of belongingness through different types of activities like debates,
extempore, recitation. Art and craft competitions, classroom activities like reading, group discussions, and
many more. This ultimately helps in developing their overall personality. As some students are unable to
outperform in the classroom, but they are also superb athletes, musicians, players, etc.
