Practice
Practice refers to an act itself, not who is doing it. Practice is a noun as it contains ice in its end. Ice is a word. e.g. I have done my football practice. Practice makes the man perfect.
Practise
It means to do something repeatedly to improve a skill. Practise is used as verb as it contains ise in its end. Ise is not a word so it is a verb not a noun. e.g. I practise my guitar. He is practising cricket. I practise my cycle.
