 Annual Sports Day { Annual Meet}

Our School Sports Day and the aim of Sport for Children.

sports in schools

It's hard to deny that sports, whether team-based or individual, can have a lot of positive effects on kids.

It is understood that participation in sports can aid physical and social development, contribute to academic success and help nurture a child's self-esteem

    Sports are essential for young children, but over the years there has been concern from schools, parents and governing bodies that children are not spending enough time engaging in sports.

While many children may love to play sport, not all children enjoy or excel at what we call traditional sport, which may mean that they do not get the full benefits of participation. However, it is just another way to encourage children to enjoy sports and exercise...

Sports Day

Fortunately, school sports days provide the perfect opportunity to encourage children who might not normally participate in sporting activities to do so.

Games played on Sports Day can go beyond traditional events like running and football and include entertaining games like egg and spoon race, three leg race kho kho kabaddi and sack race – there is something for everyone!

A lot has been made in recent years that sports days perhaps put unnecessary pressure on children to win, but here at Edelweiss Shine Smart Preschool School, we firmly believe in the positives of sports days in schools. So much so that some on our team remember him fondly.

physical benefits

I'm sure you'll agree that technology has changed the way many of us spend our free time. We spend more time watching television and playing video games than ever before, and children are no exception. It goes without saying that playing sports gets their heart rate up and their muscles pumped far more than sitting in front of the television.

Social Skills

Playing sports can help children develop their social skills and help them build positive relationships for life. Through an event like Sports Day, children get a chance to show leadership, teamwork and communication skills as they interact with new people and face new challenges. Take the three-legged race, for example. Such events will encourage children to work together to achieve a common goal.

better self esteem

Participating in sports can have a positive effect on a child's self-esteem and overall confidence level.

If a child gets the right encouragement from coaches, classmates, teachers and parents throughout the day, it will help in boosting their confidence.

Essentially, they learn to trust their abilities and push themselves.

Furthermore, this newfound confidence has been shown to transfer to the classroom in some cases, as children shake off any anxiety or doubt in their minds about speaking in front of the class or answering a question that they are not sure about. are not.

This can be the trickiest element to get right because constructive criticism needs to be well-rounded to ensure that the child can process the information correctly.
