Despite being quite rare to find in most of the schools, Improv clubs are an amazing opportunity for people who have this option available to them.
The term “Improv” stands for Improvisation, and this club is all about thinking on the spot, and (of course) improvising.
As such, this game consists of a lot of games, that require you to think fast, at the same time, it should be rational, and fit a story of scenario. So, if this is something you want to do, give it a try.

Volunteer Peer Teaching Club
Again, Volunteer teaching clubs have appeared recently, and there are many schools that are offering this opportunity.
As the name suggests, peer tutoring refers to teaching someone in your own school. This usually happens when you are good at a subject, and some student needs help with the same. This is not only a good method to help your peers, but also improve your knowledge on the same.

Any Sports Team/ Club
Lastly, if there is any sports club in your school, you should join it. Even if you are not an athletic person, you should definitely give it a try.
