The aim of the thesis was to explore how do young primary school children spend their free time, which are their interests according to their extracurricular activities and to examine possible differences in the choices of kinesiology activities among children living in urban and rural areas. The research has been conducted sampling 170 students attending 3 rd and 4 th grade of various primary schools in Slavonia region. The total sample was divided up into two sub-samples. The first one consisted of 119 students (57 boys; 47, 90 % and 62 girls; 52, 10 %) with median age being 9, 86 (SD = 1, 05) which belong to the urban Slavonia region and the other sub-sample which counts 51 student (25 boys; 49, 02 % and 26 girls; 50, 98 %) with median age being 9, 45 (SD = 0, 83) which belong to rural Slavonia region. For the purpose of the research, a questionnaire that included 12 components concerning students' activities and attitudes toward kinesiology activities was made. The results were obtained anonymously during the regular school homeroom class. Furthermore, each of the institutions approved of conducting the research and written consents were obtained from parents. In each of the components and the answers of the questionnaire the frequency of answers and their percentage was calculated for each sub-sample altogether. The test used to determine the differences in answer frequencies was the Pearson’s chi-squared test, with level of probability p= 0, 05. The research results show statistically significant differences between the choices of extracurricular activities of the students living in Slavonia region. To be more accurate, students from urban areas usually choose sport and music extracurricular activities while students living in rural areas choose recitation and art activities. Also, significant differences were obtained concerning the opportunity of electing school sports activities. Rural area students usually chose complex kinesiology activities, such as team sports and dancing, while urban area students chose swimming, martial arts and some other activities which were not provided in the questionnaire. Also, the results show that rural students are more often engaged in everyday sports activities in contrast to a small percentage of urban students who engage in sports activities 2 to 3 times a week.
