Answer 1

   More lessons are learnt on the sports field than in the classroom

It is quite true we learn more from sports than studies. It is quite ironic but true we learn more lessons in sports ground than in the classrooms.  

Who is there who may not have heard the sayings ‘A healthy mind lives in a healthy body’, and ‘All study and no play makes Jack a dull boy’. Sports and games are undoubtedly the building blocks of the health and character of children. Their importance in the over-all and holistic development of children cannot be denied.

Games instill in students many values and virtues. The first is a sense of discipline. All games are time bound activities. They start at fixed time, continue for a specified amount of time and then there is always ending time. The player has to do his best within the given time to win game. This time-limit makes him aware of the value of time. He prepares himself keeping the time in mind.  

Secondly, games teach us focus and concentration. The player focuses on strategies to win a game. For example in order to score the target in a cricket match, he keeps the target in mind and plays accordingly. This enhances his focus.

Thirdly, games teach us teamwork, camaraderie, and cooperation. A player has to play in coordination with other team members. He learns how to adjust and adapt in relation with others. This ability to work in a group and team is very essential in the current times. Later on I life one has to work always in a team, at work, research projects, or any type of work, it is all team work. So team work one learns the best at playground.

Fourthly, games teach us sportsmanship. We learn good etiquette and polite behavior with our opponents. Games also teach us how to accept defeat and further self-improvement. So games are essential in building a strong character. Discipline, focus and concentration, teamwork, and positive attitude are the most essential values for any type of success in life. We must encourage young children to play at least one game regularly.

Answer 2

Participation in school sports gives kids a sense of belonging and of accomplishment when the game is played well. They learn to be part of a team and to share success and failure. They discover the value of friendship, mutual respect and cooperation, how to set goals, to strategize and to plan – all important skills to acquire in preparation for adulthood.

Sports teaches some tough lessons too – that the best may not always win, that people sometimes cheat, and that 110-per-cent effort may not carry the day- and that despite it all, you have to come back and do it again. Disappointments build character and resilience to cope with the hard knocks later in life.

One of the most important goals of education is social development. Not only should students have the ability to interact with others, they should feel comfortable when dealing with both individuals their age and older. Extracurricular activities certainly provide the opportunity for students to grow socially. Participation in extracurricular activities improves student’s self-esteem and improves race relations. Even educators believe extracurricular activities improve a student’s social health. Activities increase a student’s confidence around their classmates and teach them to interact with others in a mature manner. A student’s growth and maturity socially is just as crucial as any other lesson learned in school and it is important to recognize the great opportunities extracurricular activities provide for students to do so in an easy and healthy manner.

Thus I conclude my speech by saying that some of the most important lessons in life are not learned inside of classroom but outside of it.
