Hobbies are these super fun things we do when we’ve got some spare time. They’re awesome because they keep us happy, give us the chance to hang out with others, and learn new things. There’s a whole bunch of hobbies out there – sports, arts, and music, you name it. Fancy a game of football, a dip in the pool, or shooting some hoops? Sports are perfect. More into the arts? You can draw, paint, or maybe try your hand at sculpting. If you’re a music buff, you might learn an instrument, write songs, or join a choir. Lots of people love doing hobbies with others, so they join clubs or go to workshops. Schools often have after-school clubs too, which are perfect for exploring what you’re interested in. No matter how you look at it, hobbies are a super cool way to spend your free time.
