Go Out and Play

In this fast advancing world of technology, even popular sports like basketball, football, soccer and billiards are continuously losing its popularity over cyber games and e-sports especially among children, teens and young adults.Kids these days are getting hooked on playing different games with their computers. They argue that playing computer games sharpen their minds as they are played competitively and on the real-time strategy. It may be true, but we must also remember that the real reasons in getting into sports is becoming physically fit, healthy and smart; it is also important in developing sportsmanship and leadership. You don’t get all these if you are

into cyber games and e-sports, while sitting down on your computer and not seeing your opponent face to face.

Promoting sports in school through intramurals and athletic meet is a good thing to fire up the enthusiasm of children in physical games. It is a school event that must be continuously observed because through sports, healthy citizenry will be developed not only on the physical aspect but more so, the moral and psychological aspect.

Instead of just sitting down in front of their computers, children must be encouraged to go out and play with friends during leisure time- because it is best for their hearts and minds.
