Extracurricular Activities for Teens - S4 E14
Extracurriculars = organized student activities connected with school that occur outside of typical school hours. Examples: athletics, performing arts, social clubs, etc.
This week's hosts, Connor and Sparsh, invite classmates Vanshika and Salil in for a discussion about extracurricular activities, focusing on sports and music. (Included: piano, violin, chorus, soccer, badminton, rugby, cricket, football, swimming, and track & field.) The 8th graders connect extracurriculars and other specifics like social interactions, stress management, parental expectations, defeating boredom, personal challenge, creating enjoyment, being productive outside of the school day, and more.
