The given chart illustrates how adolescent children between 6 and 11 years old in Great Britain spend their time at home.
Overall, a majority of the children dedicate their time primarily to computer games while books are the least popular leisure activity. Concurrently, the children of the four recorded countries display an equal preference for watching TV.
As can be seen from the chart, the children surveyed showed overwhelming favour for computer games. More than half of the children in Ireland, England and Wales opt for computer games as a home activity. The percentage of Scottish children playing computer games is not too far behind with it being the top pick for 4 out of 10 children. Conversely, reading repeatedly ranks low on the popularity scale, with its highest percentage amounting to approximately 25% (Scotland) - less than half of that of computer games. Its performance with the Irish and Welsh demographic is the least impressive, with just over 10% of children selecting reading as a leisure activity in both countries. A reverse trend can be applied to board games, with its popularity peaking in Wales and its most meager results falling in Scotland. In contrast with the fluctuating results of the aforementioned activities, watching TV maintains consistent figures throughout the four countries, accumulating a total percentage of 30%.
