WHAT TO KNOW: RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Recreation is the expenditure of time with

an intent to gain some refreshment. It is a break from

monotony and a diversion from the daily routine. It is

a positive change from the stereotypical lifestyle and

involves an active participation in some entertaining

activity. Recreation is anything that is stimulating and rejuvenating for an individual.

Some people enjoy nature hikes; others enjoy skiing (or both). The idea behind these

activities is to expand the mind and body in a positive, healthy way.

Recreation consists of activities or experiences carried on within leisure,

usually chosen voluntarily by the participant – either because of satisfaction, pleasure or

creative enrichment derived, or because he perceives certain personal or social values

to be gained from them. It may, also be perceived as the process of participation, or as

the emotional state derived from involvement.

Students, especially in higher education, now spend most of their time with

college friends and outside of home for various purposes and work. Hence, in the

current scenario, the best place to include recreational activities in one’s life is one’s

place of education rather than at home. This not only provides a chance to include

recreations in one’s life, but also helps students to socialize and become less dependent

on one’s parents.

2 TYPES OF RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

INDOOR ACTIVITIES

are carried out inside a space. They are limited to the conditions of the

place where they are held, to the number of people participating in the activities,

among other factors.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

are carried out in an outdoor space. It can be a green space on a property

or in contact with nature. When carried out abroad, activities can become more

interesting for the whole team.

Although there may be weather limitation, it is outside that the teams engage and

participate more intensely, possibly due to leaving their “comfort zone”.

INDOOR OR OUTDOOR. WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?

The choice of the type of activity may have as a limitation the budget, the

place, the meteorology or the age of the employees of your company. More than

choosing whether to do the activity inside or outside, select the skills you want to

develop. They will be the basis for a proposal designed for you.

WHAT SKILLS CAN BE WORKED?

During an indoor or outdoor activity, there are many skills that can be

worked out. At SMART SET we give all the attention to 14 fundamental skills in

all companies. With those skills as a starting point, we can propose a set of

activities, adapting them to your needs.

Developed skills:

• Communication • Effort Management • Task Definition

• Focus on the task • Trust • Strategy

• Leadership • Concentration • Teamwork

• Task management • Stress management

• Team Coordination • Troubleshooting

Different body parts were also trained and conditioned when doing such

recreational activities. For example, indoor games like board games and video

games enhances the brain (critical thinking and strategy making) while for the

outside recreational activities like trekking and climbing will enhance your lower

extremities; baseball and rugby for upper extremities.

GIVE SOME EXAMPLE BUDDY!

Basically outdoor activities are what you do outdoors/outside. Camping,

trekking, and fishing are some example of what you do outdoors. Besides from

that it is a thrilling escape from being cooped up in your home doing nothing but

playing on your phone or using the computer. Feeling the cool breeze, breathing

in the fresh air and hearing the birds chirp are some of the things you can enjoy

while outside.. Indoor activities are simply what you do inside the comfort of your

home, for example, puzzles, board or card games.
