  • Ask: "How do you feel when your school plays against another school?"

Activity:

  • Students form a circle.

Benefits of Extramural Activities:

  • Promotes school pride and external recognition.
  • Fosters teamwork and respect among peers from different schools.
  • Exposes students to higher levels of competition.
  • Develops communication and strategic skills.

Examples:

Learners' Activities:

  • In small groups, list 5 benefits of each activity type and give an example.
