      <abstract>
        <p>Creative teaching and learning as a prospective and innovative approach represents a challenge for both</p>
        <p>teachers and students. The school should provide support for the development of students’ interests,</p>
        <p>abilities, and talents as well as incite participation in extracurricular activities. The subject of this study is</p>
        <p>the role of extracurricular activities as an incentive for student creativity. The main focus of this paper</p>
        <p>will be the extent to which extracurricular activities influence student creativity. The research relies upon</p>
        <p>polling and the descriptive analytical method and uses a survey sheet for students as the main instrument.</p>
        <p>The data is then processed through quantitative analysis. The data is first gathered and sorted then</p>
        <p>represented in a chart and evaluated. Extracurricular activities have a great impact on the development of</p>
        <p>children’s interests, abilities and creativity which in turn help to overcome the limitations of the</p>
        <p>obligatory curriculum. Therefore, teachers should strengthen their competence and carry out focused</p>
        <p>extracurricular activities, especially when it comes to activities that are not in the scope of their formal</p>
        <p>education.</p>
