Importance Of Outdoor Games

Our poor performance in the Rio Olympics has shown us that we do no pay the required attention to our athletics and outdoor games. Our entire attention is towards the promotion of cricket. Cricket players enjoy the status of stars, while athletics and other outdoor games are given step-motherly treatment. Like cricket stars, the players of other games should also be given due attention by the government. Sports should be made an important part of the school routine. All games should be covered in this. Children should be encouraged to take part in games. By doing so, they will not only gain physically, but also mentally, morally, spiritually and socially. It is time we can change our attitude towards athletics and outdoor games. If we do not realize this need of giving due attention to athletics and outdoor games, the day is not far when we will just lost the Olympic Games, but all the prizes will be won by other countries. And for the children, there can be no better physical exercise than they can get through outdoor games.
