The pie charts illustrate the results of a survey comparing the types of cultural and free-time activities boys
and girls participate in.
Overall, boys generally prefer playing computer games and outdoor sports while girls mostly take part in
dancing and reading.
Boys spend more than one-third of time playing computer games while just over 25% play basketball.
Soccer is the third most popular pastime with approximately 17%, followed by skateboarding with one in
ten participating. In contrast, reading is the least popular with only 2%.
Playing computer games is not as popular among girls with less than half taking part (16%) compared to
boys. The most favored pursuit for girls is dancing with the largest percentage at 27%, followed closely by
reading (more than one-fifth).
Among sports, gymnastics and netball are common among females as 11% and 15% participate in these two
respectively. The ratio of reading among girls is considerably higher than that of boys while listening to
music is adored by an equal percentage (10%) of boys and girls.
