The Role of Games in our Life

Sports and games are necessary for the health and proper development of the body. Games keep us fit and free from disease or illness. We learn to remain active and smart by playing games. Developed countries like England, Germany, France, and the U.S.A have made games an essential part of education at the school level. It is interesting to note that there are many nurseries and training centers for games in these countries. They admit boys and girls for necessary training to become future athletes, gymnastics, and sportsmen. No doubt, games, and sports are becoming popular in Pakistani schools as well. The facilities of course are not adequate at present. The situation is expected to improve shortly. The Pakistani schoolboys and schoolgirls know full us the meaning of the proverb. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. They teach us sportsmanship and brotherhood which are important in our lives. Several school clubs and societies hold athletic contests. These contests include walking, jogging, jumping, swimming, rowing, boxing, and gymnastics. An athlete is trained to be perfectly fit to engage in such contests. Moreover, football, hockey, cricket, tennis, badminton, and table tennis are among the favorite organized games in school. All such sports and games certainly benefit both mind and body. Thus, games cure us of laziness and make us physically as well as mentally alert.
