MODULE 1 – LESSON 2

of recreational to ones’
health and fitness.
2. Develop interest in
OBJECTIVES:
MODULE 1 – LESSON 1
engaging recreational
activities.
Before analyzing the effect of
recreations in educational
curriculum, it is important to
know the impacts and
necessity of recreations in
one’s life as a whole. Due to
the intricacies in present day
society and the way of living,
students nowadays are
weaker than their older
generations, both physically
and emotionally.
This gets reflected in
their physical, emotional
and mental health as well
as their behavior and
development which all
the more calls for
bestowing on recreations
the importance that it
deserves.
1. Physical Health:
Recreational activities, especially
outdoor ones improve one’s health
like maintaining lower body fat
percentages, lowering blood and
cholesterol levels, increasing
muscular strength, flexibility,
muscular endurance, body
composition and cardiovascular
endurance.
1. Physical Health:
Overall it increases one’s stamina
and energy level resulting in more
focus for academic activities
besides also having an impact on
one’s class attendance and attention
thus leading to more learning. And
as we all know “health is wealth”.
2.Mental Health:
Mental health is essential for overall
physical health. Recreational
activities help manage stress. It
provides a chance to nurture oneself
and provides a sense of balance
and self-esteem, which can directly
reduce anxiety and depression.
There is also an increased
motivation to learn as it can serve
as a laboratory for application of
contents learnt in classrooms
teaching.
2.Mental Health:
It provides a channel for releasing
tension and anxiety thus facilitating
emotional stability and resilience.
Such activities help students to
become more self-reliant, emphatic
and self-disciplined.
3. Improved Quality of Life:
Recreational activities help create a
balance between academic
pressures with physical and mental
well-being. The effects of recreation
are multifold. It enriches self-
expression, self-fulfillment ability,
interpersonal skills, techniques and
methods of using leisure, physical
strength, creative expression, and
aesthetic sense
3. Improved Quality of Life:
Therefore, recreation is allowed to be
used as a tool of therapy (Lee, 2000).
Physical activity-based recreation
helps participants recover from the
deteriorated physical strength, caused
by the lack of exercise, and develops
the latent ability to achieve self-
realization. This also helps people to
deal with common day to day problems
more effectively as it makes people
more optimists and with a positive
outlook to life.
Coming to the point of including recreational
activities in educational curriculum, it can be
said that the present generation spends less of
their time in natural surroundings leading to a
weakening of senses both physiologically and
psychologically. In fact, recreational activities in
an educational set up will be academically
more enriching for the student in many ways:
Students are more enthusiastic
to learn in outdoor learning
activities as compared to
traditional indoor setting and
also more motivated. They
also develop a better attitude
towards the environment and
more responsible behavior
It helps in building
communication skills and team
building as students have to
work in groups to solve
problems. There will be more
discussions of ideas and
feedbacks and helps students
to resolve conflict among
themselves
It also helps in boosting
memory as there is more
practical experience and the
information can be soaked up
wholly by the brain in a more
fresh and fascinating
environment
It also helps in moral
development as students get
the opportunity to undertake
leadership, question actions
and regulations and accept
responsibility for their own
behavior.
Enhances peer relationships and
interpersonal skills. Students can
also excel in areas other than
academics where they have an
interest. Recreational activities
can give a chance to discover
talents other than academic
excellence which can later help
one in the career and life as a
whole.
Overall it can be said that, recreational activities
help in overall development of a student’s
physically, mentally, and emotionally. It not only
helps to gather knowledge but to use it ethically
to lead a healthy and better life. It teaches one to
think with reason and live with a more practical
approach to life. It also enhances ones all round
development, thus helping to achieve success in
ones endeavors.
