What image does that term &#8220;club activity&#8221; bring to mind? Although it sounds like English, it really isn&#8217;t a common term in the US. We have clubs and activities, of course but usually just refer to them as hobbies or extracurricular activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan Club Activities are a huge part of the culture. Starting in elementary school kids are not only encouraged but basically required to join in an activity &#8211; whether it be a sport, musical instrument, art club etc. From Jr. high school and into high school, kids devote extra time every day to their activity of choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most part, kids will go to practice everyday after school and even on Saturdays and Sundays with their club or team. It&#8217;s a huge time commitment! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think there are many benefits that come out of being a part of a club and being part of a team, however I am not sure if requiring it everyday on every type of kid is a good thing. Maybe it&#8217;s a cultural difference? What do you think? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do club activities look like where you live?
