Outdoor Games
Outdoor Play is a necessary part of children’s development and is consid-
ered essential for children’s play and learning.
Playing outdoors provide unique opportunities for learning that the indoor
environment cannot offer. For example imagination, Physical activity, Curi-
osity etc. Nowadays academically oriented schools, higher concerns related
to safety and risk has increased and parents control over children’s activities like “don’t go
far!”, “be careful” …
The inability to cross over this barrier is affecting children in many areas of development. It
increased anxiety, depression, obesity, hyperactivity. When the children go for outdoor games,
they are provided opportunity for freedom, choice. When child get such freedom to play, they
are more likely to engage in higher levels of social interaction, physical activity ,decision making
and reasoning .In turn, they are less likely to become inattentive, anxious depressed and un-
healthy.
Outdoor environment is a blank canvas on which children are able to place their own thoughts,
wonders and creations.
