Question

Looking at the modern children, one striking difference between the childhood that
the previous generation had and the one that this generation is having, is the lack of
Indian or native games. Nowadays, almost all children play games like cricket, tennis
and football. Nobody is playing games like kabaddi, gilli danda, posham pa etc. These
games have heritage and rich cultural values and were tools of passing on some
ancestral knowledge or the other. They also sharpened our observational and math
skills unlike the hit-and-run games of the west that strengthen only hand-eye co
ordination.
2. Traditional games were not just games, they were designed in such a way that one
could develop lot of skills like logical thinking, building strategy, concentration, basic
mathematics and aiming. Nowadays we develop these skills by paying money to
centers that conduct personality development courses.
3. Traditional games act as learning aids. They teach us many things while playing
like, to learn to win and lose, develop sensory skills, count, add, improve motor
skills, identify colour, improve hand-eye co-ordination and finally to have fun.
Naturally, one plays or watches a game to have fun.
4. The values that we achieve by playing these games are more when compared to the
games that we play nowadays. Some of the values that we gain are that they are
environment friendly, we get a chance to learn about our culture and history, and an
important thing is, that these games are suitable for all ages, so they increase the
interaction between generations. Many modern games played around the world have
their own origin in these traditional games, this is a pride to our country's culture.
