Cultural Activities In School
2
Schools are all about having new experiences,
interacting with others, making friends, and
learning. Theres a lot more to a school than
just studying. Dont get me wrong, studying is
necessary and every child should focus on it. But
there are other activities apart from studying
that the child needs to participate in as
well.   You must have heard of the saying, All
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Well,
that is true to many extents. It is not just
directed towards any particular child but towards
what we teach the children. Children should be
motivated to learn and to participate in any
activity that they like or work on the hobbies
that they have.   There are many co-curricular
and extracurricular activities that the students
can be a part of. Indulging in such activities
can help them learn new skills, work in teams,
spend time productively, and broaden their
perspectives.

Many fun activities can be organized by using the
school resources itself. There is no need for the
school to bear any extra expenses. This would not
only help the students to indulge in some
activities other than academia but would also
help the school faculty be a part of it.   Many
activities and events can be organized in which
students and teachers collectively participate.
This would help strengthen the bond between them
and also help to overcome any communication
barrier that might arise.   There are ideas for
various activities that you can organize in the
school boundaries itself. These activities can be
fun, indulging, knowledge imparting, creative,
and interesting. You can come up with your ideas
as well. Just to give you a boost, here are some
of the ideas that you can consider

Similarly, inter-school competitions can be
arranged as well. The subjects for these
competitions can be related to extracurricular
activities like music, drama, arts, drawing,
painting, etc, or curricular based activities
like solving mathematical problems, science quiz,
history debates, and many more.   Setting up this
kind of environment in school can help to build a
