Games

Games are an important physical activity. We all know about the proverb “Only study and no play makes jack a dull boy.” Many students play games in their leisure time. Games keep our bodies fit and free from illness. We remain active while playing games. Playing games with others teaches us many good values like team spirit, sportsmanship, leadership, obedience, etc. Students play games because it increases their overall motivation and attentive spirit. They become attentive in class and also energetic. Therefore, games are an integral part of our life.

Exercise

Exercise, also known as working out, is a very important part of our life. It is essential for every sphere of our life. As long as we live exercise should a part of day-to-day day routine, for various reasons. For starters, they help us to lose weight and keep us fit. Secondly, it keeps us safe from a number of diseases. Diseases like asthma, heart disease, back pain, arthritis etc. can be cured by yoga, meditation and exercising. And third but not the least, it helps us in improving the oxygen level of our body and also gives us relaxation. So let’s do yoga and exercise and also remember the quote “Life is short, so keep it safe and healthy with yoga.”

Dancing

Dancing makes a person’s mind relaxed. When we talk about dance, usually a professional dancer comes to our mind. But, this is where we go wrong. Dance is for anybody and everybody from a ballet dancer to the dancing at a wedding. Dance is what unites us and helps us come together to celebrate joy and express our feelings. Therefore, we must all dance without worrying if we are doing it right or not. Dance is also called the hidden language of the soul as we use it to express ourselves when words fall short. Age, weight and gender doesn’t matter when it comes to the matter of dance. Hence, we must dance our hearts out and let our bodies move to the rhythm of the music freely.

Basketball

Basketball is an outdoor game of handball played between two teams on the basketball court. A basketball is a ball that looks almost like football. The teams have to put the ball through a basketball hoop, a kind of basket, mounted high on a backboard on each side of the court. Children learn a lot about teamwork in this game because it involves a lot of teamwork. Children also make new friends while playing this game. Since we use our whole body in this game, some people also consider it as an exercise. So, if we try and try basketball and practice daily we can easily achieve success out of it.

Painting

For as long as humanity has existed, art has been part of our lives. For many years, people have been creating and enjoying art.  It expresses emotions or expressions of life. Art adds happiness and colours to our lives and saves us from the boring monotony of daily life. Art is essential as it covers all the developmental fields in child development. Also, it helps in physical development and creativity. For example, playing with dough can fine-tune our muscle control in our fingers. If there were no art, we wouldn’t have been able to see the beauty in things. In other words, art helps us feel relaxed and forget about our problems.
