The Benefits of Sports and Games

Sports and games are good for our health. They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.

What’s more, they make our life richer and more colourful. We all enjoy watching and taking part in all kinds of sports-track and field, swimming, skating, volleyball, basketball, etc.

Sports and games are also very useful in character-training. For boys and girls, what is learned on the playground often has a deep effect on their character.
