Answer in Brief

Solution

Importance of Outdoor Games

By Sreeja

Games like cricket, hockey, tennis, football, and badminton are outdoor games that are played in the open. They are games that involve physical activity and also a spirit of healthy competition. Outdoor games are important to relax and to charge our batteries, as the proverb goes 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'.

In this age, where children are suffering from obesity, outdoor activities form an important part of their curriculum. Outdoor games also have long term benefits on health. They help the kids stay fit and healthy, and as they feel tired at the end of the day, they will sleep on time as well.

Outdoor games develop a competitive spirit and also boosts up their confidence level and self-esteem. They learn to interact, and also to build strategies to win. In this tech-savvy age, it is very important for the children to leave their televisions, laptops, and video games. They should go out and learn the importance of outdoor activities in their daily routine.
