Explanation
An activity is something you do, often for fun, learning, or work. It could be playing a game, reading a book, or going swimming. In schools and offices, people often plan activities to learn or enjoy together. It also means movement or things happening in a place — like noise, work, or action. An activity is not just sitting and doing nothing — it means something is happening or being done.
