Extra-curricular Activities
Extracurricular activities help children develop motor skills and improve physical fitness, while also building their cognitive and social skills, all of which can enhance children’s sense of well-being. To help children receive the most benefits from extracurricular activity involvement physically, emotionally, and socially, they should participate in the right amount of activity for their age level and abilities.
As a child learns what they are good at, they will not only enjoy an enhancement in their motor skills, they will also gain deep-seated confidence. They will learn things like time management as well, as extracurricular activities force a child to prioritize their to-do list. Even this will help them to be more confident because it will help them feel like they are taking control of their lives.
IFBA’s goal is to help develop, fund, and oversee extracurricular activities in our partner school. Extra-curricular activities are a rarity in many African schools. IFBA hopes to change the narrative.
