Games and sport enhances wholesome

education
What is the value of Games in Education? There are also other benefits students learn
from playing games. They learn being social and the feelings of togetherness, co-
operation, discipline and punctuality. It helps student to improve concentration on the
playfield and their ability. Games and Sports also train students to keep themselves fully
fit in body and mind. It gives a student a chance to enhance the physical and social
skills.

The playfield has many other lessons to give and to be learnt. The performance of a team game
depends upon the cooperation and the joint, concerted effort of all the players. If any of the
links are weak or is not performing as well as it should the total effort fails. In the game like
football and basketball the central forward of the team can only score a goal if the left and right
wings give him the right to support a proper and timely pass. If the one on the defence position
fails to check the advancing forward player of the opposite team the chances of scoring of a
goal brighten up. Therefore It teach the lesson of combination, joint effort and team spirit which
lessons are great Lessons to be learnt.

In such games as tennis or badminton or squash or chess, in a singles match, the total
concentration of the player’s mind and his ability to cash on the weak points of his
opponent alone can make him win. In field sports like races, swimming, and in the event
of throws, the full use of one’s alertness and agility and the full use of one’s power puts
him or her at the top of the victory stand. . Strategic games improve the functioning of
the brain. Gaming creates a dynamic that can inspire learners to develop skills and build
an emotional connection to learning and subject matter.

Sports play an important role in educating students as it teaches them to become

strong from inside and also develop a fit and sound body. Combining sports in
education can help students to develop a self-motivating spirit to do things on their
own and having ownership of these.

Thus games and sports have lessons to teach, have thought to be valued and worked
upon they educate the mind in their own way for success in life. They are equally as
important as what the students learn in a classroom.
