Co-curricular activities are as important as classroom learning and come in many forms, including literacy activities, physical development, leisure time, civic development, and social welfare. They provide educational, psychological, social, civic, cultural, and physical development benefits. When planning these activities, teachers should choose those based on student interest, make objectives clear, form committees to involve all students, maximize student potential, involve all students, set rules, inculcate values, coordinate with other sectors, unite the school community in support, and let students plan, implement and evaluate. Teachers serve important roles as planners, leaders, innovators, directors, organizers, recorders, managers, advisers, motivators, communicators, coordinators,
