❄️ On average, children today spend more time staring at screens of electronics like phones, tablets, laptops, and television screens. As a result, children are spending more time than ever doing sedentary activities, and less time being active, often to the detriment of their health and well-being. This is why outside play is now more important than ever. In addition to the more obvious health benefits like improved motor skills and increased muscle strength, evidence has shown that outside play can boost the immune system, help develop social skills, and even aid in emotional and intellectual development.

Today, we took the children outside and played a few organised games with them before letting them play freely to develop their social skills and imagination. These games are known by different names in different parts of the world, but today we referred to them as “Red Light, Green Light”, which helped improve their reflexes and listening skills, and also “Blind Man’s Bluff”, in which one student was blindfolded and had to use their other senses in order to reach the other students.
