'''Leisure''' (or '''free time''') is when a person can choose what to do. During a person's leisure time, they do not have an obligation to be at [[school]] or work at a [[job]]. During leisure time, people can do [[wikt:fun|fun]] activities, [[family]] activities, or other non-[[Labour (economics)|work]] activity, such as hobbies. <br />
<br />
Common forms of recreation or leisure are:<br />
<br />
* Playing [[sport]]s such as [[football]] or [[ice hockey|hockey]]<br />
* Playing [[game]]s such as chess or cards<br />
* Exercising such as running or lifting weights<br />
* Watching [[television]] and [[movies]]<br />
* Listening to [[music]]<br />
*[[Hobby|Hobbies]] such as playing [[piano]] or [[guitar]], knitting, or sewing<br />
*[[Travel]]ling<br />
* Reading<br />
* [[Book Club]]s<br />
<br />
A vacation or [[holiday]] is the setting aside of time specifically for leisure.<ref>https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vacation</ref> During their vacation, some people travel to a different region or country, and stay at a [[hotel]] so that they can do things they could not do near home. Other people prefer to spend their vacation time at home in their own community.<br />
<br />
In rich [[developed nations|industrialized countries]] such as the [[United States|US]] and [[Canada]], as well as in most European countries, workers are allowed to stay home on the [[weekend]] (usually [[Saturday]] and [[Sunday]]), and use it as leisure time. People in poorer developing countries usually have less leisure time, as they have to work longer hours and more days per year.<br />
