the bar chart illustrates the data about 5 activities Australian children prefer to do in their spare time.
Overall, boys do more of each activity than girls (except for arts and crafts and watching TV or videos). Another visible trend is that, while boys are more active than girls, both still prefer sedentary activities such as TV and video games.
The percentage of Australian youngsters in both genders watching TV or videos is equal, at 100%. Electronic or computer games are much more preferred by boys than by girls. The figures are slightly over 80% and 60% respectively. Likewise, bike riding also attracts boys more than girls in their spare time. Boys’ involvement in this activity is nearly 80%, whereas the figure for girls is a little under 60%.
Around 40% of 5-to-14-year-old boys enjoy skateboarding or rollerblading, while the proportion of girls at this age is only slightly more than 20%. In contrast, the figure for girls spending their leisure time on art and craft is greater than their male counterparts, at just under 60% and approximately 35% respectively
