After school, it’s recess!
Choosing one or more extra-curricular activities should not be done lightly! Here is a quick overview of the most popular leisure activities …
Piano, singing, gym, theater, creative workshops, dancing, horse riding… there is no shortage of ideas to wake up!

Relaxation guaranteed!
To awaken the little ones to artistic activities, it is the playful side that is put forward. No fear, therefore, that they will be bored!
Want to harden his young ears? Inquire directly at the music school closest to you or at the municipal conservatory. This activity is accessible to all children, even the youngest. From 3 years old, budding little musicians can discover an instrument in a special “musical awakening” course.
For the older ones, it will be the obligatory passage to music theory, with the choice of a musical instrument.
Baby-gym classes are also in the spotlight! From 3 years old, you can register your toddler for a one and a half hour session per week. Guaranteed release!
Among the older ones, טאַנצן is still dreaming of most little girls (but also some little boys!). Pink slippers, entrechats, not crossed … the classic technique relies on rigor. But when you want to become a real little rat, you have to be ready to make some sacrifices! Otherwise, there is always the Modern jazz option.
Culture from an early age
The older ones, from 6 years old in general, also let themselves be seduced by more intellectual activities! טעאַטער, for example, has many advantages in terms of personal and social development. Being a hero or a villain cannot be improvised when you are a rather reserved child. On stage, your very shy person will dare to cry out, defend himself, cry in front of everyone … in short, open up and assume his emotions.
Early learning of English, from 4 years old, is also part of the “trendy” activities. You can offer your toddler sessions to discover the language in songs. Several associations offer a varied choice to introduce children in a fun way.

די שעפעריש וואַרשטאַטן are also popular! Supervised by professionals, your child will thrive in pottery, collages and other cardboard constructions … a thousand and one things impossible to create at home!
Courses ofגעמעל are also a very popular activity for 7-12 year olds. Let them express their gift, which is sometimes hidden.
Whatever activity you choose, the watchword is undoubtedly “fulfillment”!
Despite everything, be careful not to overload your child’s schedule, the leisure side must come first.
A word of advice: let him choose and express what he wants to do. You will take less risk of investing – for nothing – in an activity that he can give up more easily during the year if he is not really motivated. Don’t hesitate to talk to him about it.
