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.
Leisure Education is an assistive tool to enable the individual to :
1) gain a broader understanding of where, why, how, and
with whom he can pursue his leisure interests and experiences and

2) unlearn non-adaptive and learn more functional

responses, i.e. to develop different modes of leisure behavior which
will enable the individual to adapt to the environment to meet his free
time needs.
Values derived from Recreation:
1. Mental Health
2. Physical Health and Growth
3. Emotional Stability
4. Social Fitness
5. Psychological Awareness
Everyone needs to plan and best utilize daily free
time for recreation. If leisure time is used
correctly and to the fullest, it will:

- Recreate the body, mind, and spirit

through and through
- Bring forth renewed vigor, spirit, and
creative effort

Why is it important for a student to enjoy positive

leisure or recreational activities daily?
a. Recreational activities gives you opportunity to be
creative, to express your basic needs, and to be your real
self.
b. All work and no play makes a person not only dull but a
sick, unbalanced, and unhappy individual according to
medical authorities.
c. Students who correctly balance work and play are more
productive and tend to be in better physical, mental,
social, and emotional health.
d. Students who are disciplined, well-organized, and have
life goals well in mind will have better chances of being
successful.
e. These will help them build a lifelong habit.
Other Values that you can derive
