This paper focuses on a comprehensive exploration of cultural aspects related to students' leisure activities in an urban environment. Specifically, it examines the behavior of students from King Tomislav Elementary School in Zagreb during their leisure time. The primary research questions aim to determine the proportion of leisure time dedicated to various extracurricular or out-of-school activities and to identify the dominant areas of educational activities within these contexts. The research goal is to gain insight into how students organize their leisure time, assess their success in this organization, and understand the overall importance of quality leisure time. The research findings indicate that students often delegate the organization of their leisure time to schools and other educational institutions. It is observed that they opt for diverse activities from various educational fields to fill their leisure time and explore their interests. However, this approach results in limited completely unstructured time. Depending on their age, students gradually narrow down the range of enrolled activities. Initially, they participate in all intriguing activities at the beginning of their education, later focusing on those where they achieve greater success or find more enjoyment. Interestingly, activities in the realm of physical and health education are most commonly present among all surveyed students, irrespective of gender or age. Before presenting the details of the research methodology, the paper begins with a theoretical foundation consisting of two parts. The first part analyzes defines, and thoroughly elaborates on the concept of leisure time, explores its historical development, emphasizes its significance, and investigates the pedagogy of leisure time. Special attention is given to education for leisure time to prevent its wasteful consumption without a positive impact on the individual. The second part describes the culture of leisure time, explores various leisure activities, categorizes them into extracurricular and out-of-school, analyzes legal provisions regarding leisure time, and studies the school's influence on children and youth. It also underscores the importance of developing quality leisure time.
