  Participating in afterschool activities is important because you can grow your brain by using social skills and having fun. One of my favorite things about after school activities is  football helps me learn social skills. When I got on the field for the first time, I did not know everyone. I just started to make conversation and that is how I made friends.   

 

You should do after school activities because it can help with your body strength. For example, lifting weights can   build up your upper body strength. Running can help your lower body get strong, like your legs. Running is fun and can clear your mind. 

 

After school activities can help you with social skills.  Social skills are tools that enable people to communicate with each other. It helps because you have to talk to your team.  You also have to listen to your coach. 

 

 After school activities are also fun because you’re not just sitting at home on the couch doing nothing, you’re actually having fun and playing games. Sometimes when you exercise you can lose weight and body fat but that is only if you exercise a lot.

 

Some people think that kids should learn after school by doing homework. But really, after school activities can teach you lots of skills. One of the skills is how to throw a baseball correctly. Another  one is how to learn moves in karate. You also learn social skills which help you talk to your friends. 

 

After school activities are important because they can help your body get stronger. It can help with your social skills and it helps you learn. This is why you should participate in after school activities.
