This paper deals with the role of literary, recitation and drama, journalism, and film clubs in stimulating creative skills of primary and secondary school students. After an inquiry into the features of these school clubs, the possibilities they offer for the development of students' creativity are examined. By surverying the 2014 to 2015 academic year school curricula of the primary and secondary schools in Osijek, the clubs which are active today are determined, as well as their commonness and representation in Osijek's primary and secondary schools. Through conversation and active observation the work of twenty one (21) school clubs related to Croatian language teaching in Osijek's primary and secondary schools in the 2014 to 2015 academic year is investigated. This analysis covers some basic information on the clubs (e.g. the name of the leader, member count, aims, etc.), as well as a description of their practical work and its results. The effect of club activities on literary, recitation and drama, journalism, and film creativity of students in practice is also explored. Finally, the results of the research are compared to the theory laid out in the first part of the paper and a conclusion is reached with regard to the role of school clubs in stimulating students' creative skills.
