Club/hobby ideas for 10 year old girl

29 replies

My dd is 10, I am trying to think of a club or organised hobby she can get involved in.
She has done ballet, gym, an archaeology club, riding lessons, an athletics club and currently has piano lessons and swimming lessons. Slightly worried that she doesn't seem able to stick at anything but that's another issue!
She likes drawing and crafting but I want her do develop skills and be with other people...have tried googling for this type of club but no further.
What is you 10/11 year old girl into??
Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone for the ideas. It's always been very much up to DD what she does...probably why she hasn't stuck at much! I did loads of hobbies when I was a kid, whether I wanted to or not and I've vowed not to be the same!

Your dd might feel that you're not all that bothered whether she does activities or not, and aren't being supportive enough. I'm sure that's not the case, but she might have got that impression anyway.

Have you asked her whether there's anything she'd like to have a go at?

My 8 year old loves her drama and theatre workshops, she is an extrovert though. It's the first club she's really loved. She gave up on gymnatics and karate as she found them too repetative. She also enjoys her music and dance classes.

I would suggest going to all your local museums, independent cinemas and craft workshop outlets to see what they have to offer. Maybe if she does a lot of short workshops on things like printmaking, sewing, knitting etc she might find something she really enjoys and she can learn from other people sharing the same hobby. DD has done lots of these over the years, she's always enjoyed them and now she has lots of skills.

My daughter loves dancing. She takes classes once a week but she practices everyday, and when she tried out for dance she told me she couldn't wait for her next dance class
