This paper is focused on extracurricular activities. These activities are an additional stimulus for the child's motivation and spending quality free time. The activities help children to meet their needs and interests and help them in developing their abilities, skills and knowledge. Children's wishes and interests need to be respected as children progress the most when their needs are met. Children gladly and without fear participate in extracurricular activities because there is no assessment or extra stress. It is desirable to include as many students as part of extracurricular activities and to try to involve parents in their child’s education. This research focuses on the pupils’ attitude towards the extracurricular activities which are offered to them. While researching two schools from the rural environment and two schools 3 from urban environment, the results have showed that respondents (N=107) are extremely satisfied with the selection of extracurricular activities and that they are involved in these activities because they find them interesting. Girls prefer to participate in extracurricular activities because the activities are mostly suited to their interests. Teachers do not use their imagination and creativity in extracurricular activities so their work during regular classes and extracurricular activities is similar.
