as the saying in english goes, all work and no play makes Jack a will boy.it has been forgotten that games and sports are very important in making a person brighter youthful and healthy .it they even cultivate the habit of obedience discipline and determination to win.moreover it is effluent to justify the statment which says a sound kind resides only in a sound body..
games such as badminton tennis cricket egg have many benefits ...they may not ensure and immediate game but it is the fact that a healthy and a strong body is impossible without the presence of sports

It’s a real pleasure to be here with you all today.
The power of sport
You’ll probably all agree that we’ve just enjoyed the greatest summer in our sporting history.
Thousands of young people saw the very best that sport can be. Now we must stretch every sinew to convert that enthusiasm into an enduring shift in their relationship with sport.
Sport has an inherent value - the acts of participating, competing and spectating form an important part of our culture. Our sports are national passions and commercial assets. But sport is also about so much more.
Sport teaches us incredibly important lessons about life. It teaches us about the joy of triumph, but also about learning to be resilient when we lose, and to lose with grace.
Consider for a moment what our Olympic and Paralympic heroes had to endure to get to the Games, never mind win a medal. The average athlete has been working towards their goal for over eleven years.
And sometimes, the difference between winning and losing can be keener than a razor’s edge - something I heard about from the British cyclist Joanna Rowsell last week.
British Cycling believes in a strategy of “the aggregation of marginal gains” - a strategy that focuses on the small changes and improvements that can be made to effect a significant change in performance overall.
This attention to detail, this looking for even the slightest edge, can make all the difference. A case in point is Laura Trott, who won the first event in the Women’s Omnium by just one thousandth of a second.
Not everyone will be an elite athlete. But everyone can benefit from that approach - continuous improvement is relevant in academic work and everyday life too.
Because of this - still heady from the Games with sport still centre-stage - my priority is making sure we don’t miss this wide open goal in front of us.
Of course, it’s for schools to decide what’s best for their pupils but I think the very best schools have sport at their heart. Their Heads understand all the benefits that flow from embedding sport in the daily life of the school.
Signing up to the School Games is a great option. With 15,000 schools now signed up, there’s no reason why we can’t push for every school in England to be involved in the coming years.
I have talked to the Education Secretary to see how every school can realise the benefits of sport. And yes, part of this means making sure schools have the support they need to deliver school sport effectively, particularly at primary level - where we know there are some specific challenges. We’re consulting a range of people to help inform our thinking and we’ll make an announcement on next steps later this year.
But I tell you today: I’ll leave no stone unturned in looking at new ways to support schools with the firepower they need to strengthen both PE and sport.
So, to all of you involved: thank you very much for making the first year of the School Games such a great success. And I pay particular tribute to the sterling work of the Youth sport Trust and Sport England.
The importance of participation
You will have heard today that I want there to be a real focus this year on Level 1 of the School Games, particularly within primary schools.
Of course, getting the school signed up is just the first step. We also need to offer children, whatever their age or ability, a real choice of sports, which is why the School Games is so important. There are already 38 different sports on offer as part of this programme: from netball to new-age curling, from badminton to boccia.
There has long been a misconception that some girls “don’t do sport”. The London 2012 Games has gone some way to bust these prejudices.
