The homework care also belongs to it, as well as the leisure and recreational activities. This could be anything - painting and drawing, handicrafts and needlework, perhaps even cooking, or sports. Also singing, making music (possibly RAP) or dance (break-dance) would be conceivable. This decides the creativity of the volunteers together with the leaders and the children.
