Morphology
The noun phrase is a straightforward compositional combination: 'educational' (related to education) modifies 'activity' (a purposeful action), so the meaning ‘an activity designed to teach’ follows directly from the parts. This adjective+noun pattern is standard in English and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Educational activity combines educate, which means 'to teach', and activity, which means 'doing' or a task. Imagine a teacher giving students a hands-on task; doing the task helps them learn, so the phrase means a planned task used to teach skills or knowledge.
