This study aims to investigate the degree to which the activities guide includes life skills subject and their acquisition by high school students. To achieve the goal of this study, first of all, a questionnaire consisting of (24) paragraphs has been developed and distributed to high school students with sample of (150) students in Madaba Latin schools. Secondly, a content analysis has been performed for the activities guide that has been thought in the school titled "interactive curriculum for activity classes" and a second instrument has been developed too for the analysis of the content. The researchers used the descriptive survey method. The study results show that the degree of inclusion of life skills subject in the activities guide "interactive curriculum for activity classes" was low, and concerning the degree of high school students' acquisition of life skills, the results show that the degree of high school students acquiring life skills available in the guide has an average of (2.95%). Based on the results of the study, we recommend using the study results to review the guide "the interactive curriculum for activity classes" and to consider life skills a priority in it.
