Now – a – days, computers have become a craze for the present generation. Of late, we have become almost addicted to this fascinating machine of new age. As a result, we tend to overlook outdoor games. Recently, I had been to my cousin’s house in a small town. Wi-fi network connectivity was not available. Hence, most of the children were out on the road, playing hide – n – seek, seven stones, current or flying kite. That was the day when I went out and played Hide and Seek. Till then, I never realized how much we were missing in life. I enjoyed the game thoroughly finding new places to hide every time a person closed his/her eyes to count. There were times when we would go out even on sunny afternoons to play and we would not like to return home till late in the evening. I have understood that Outdoor games is very good and keeps one healthy and active, agile and alert. There is no scope of loneliness and tension in this joyful group activity. After a tiring day of sitting in school and concentrating on studies, an hour or two spent in playing takes off fatigue and refreshes us all over again. We can cultivate positive values like sportsman spirit, teamwork and cooperation. I have understood that playing outdoors is more joyful and enriching in many ways than sitting all alone and playing video games on computers and spoiling our eyes.
