Extracurriculars (we usually abbreviate them as EC's on here for convenience) are what they sound like, extra activities you can take part in. Common ones are

-school clubs

-community clubs

-making art

-being a dancer

-being a member of an honor society

-volunteering

The list goes on, they are basically your hobbies outside of school meaning things you do that aren't required.
