extracurricular activities!
I believe it is important for children to spend time on extracurricular activities for a few reasons:
First, these activities let children improve their bodies as their minds. For example when I was in school, I used to play table tennis with my classmates after class and It had good effects on my physical health.
Second, I think extracurricular activities cheers the children up. I have found by experience that students who participate in after school activities like music bands or theater groups, are happier than others.
P.S. Thanks in advance for your correction and your comments are mostly welcome.

I believe it is important for children to spend time on extracurricular activities for a few reasons:
First, these activities allow children to have healthier bodies and minds. For example, when I was in school, I used to play table tennis with my classmates after class and It had good effects on my physical health.
Second, I think extracurricular activities makes children feel happier (more cheerful). I have found by experience that students who participate in after school activities like music bands or theater groups, are happier than others.

It's good to match potential benefits with specific adctivities, as you haev done with your examples. A few other areas might be: greater socialisation; working in teams; creating horizons/ambitions beyond academic limits; practical skills; encouraging independence.

Thank you for you comment @Maria! I usually ask my students to do a research project that should be done as a team work. Individual activities are not accepted by me! I found it helpful both when I was a student and now, at least they will learn how to act in a group. I have a lot of memories from team work that will never forget them. I hope my students will have as well :-)

I agree with you Amene.
I think that school mainly doesn't cultivate such abilities but extracurriculum activities do what school does not.And this is the point for someone who wants to be educated.
But such activities are not the care of school and are regarded as secondary.Children choose them if they want and many of them do them random or occasionally.But many children don't understand why to do an activity and just consider it something secondary.
So,I think that school,as it's its name, supports mainly scholastisicm and not real education.
Such activities are the best for benefiting body and spirit and also,the most important, to make them act collectively in a team and not being seperated as in scool classes.
For this reason,I think that the teacher must strengthen those activities and rise their interest about them.

HI, Amene, just a point of grammar: "Mostly" means "almost completely," or "for the most part." At your closing, you want to say "Your comments are most welcome," where, in this context, "most" means "very." :)
