Socializing Games

There is a need to break down inhibitions among the minds of people to bring about a social change and to cultivate a feeling of one ness among society to improvise upon the upliftment of social and moral values. Paying games in masses play a vital role on this significant subject. A group of people play games in a team effort and thus shred all its ill thoughts and indiscipline against each other and thus create thoughts of well being of each other. Thus to play games is a social cause and when countries and continents play together the entire world bring a social cause and commitment for the betterment of humanity. All world cups, international games, Olympic Games and Commonwealth games bring people of all ages, creed, religion, places, genre and gender bring closer. There is no 'I' in T-E-A-M" and thus group minded team building tasks make them passionate towards a common goal and that is win come what may come in the way. A group can build effective solutions to the problems facing their communities, and therefore need to trust each other and communicate.

Cooperative games offer a friendly way and brisk way to couple passionate task-oriented goals in the team with drive to achieve win in the game. Thus, fun and to play games not only propel social change but also bring sense of equality and discipline amongst the team members. Also, games get people to think together, as a team, and everyone in the group has his own inputs and also shares ideas irrespective or cast and creed. When one has input he or she has ownership, and when sooner this ratio increase there is more success. Games become more relevant in the context of technique called framing wherein all barriers of caste and creed are shred off and focus is built upon to make the group or team more effective and powerful to achieve success towards common goal of win.

Games are used to build a sense of opportunity, passion, and purpose. Playing Games become pacifiers for the participants, as to elevate their potential and to settle the appetite of the group hungering for power. In quality education, games when used in the name of context of lessons students eagerly learn them with a sense of purpose and stays back in their mind longer lasting. However, when teachers use games as just the fillers students respond lazily and does not has much impact on them.

The love of playing games create in them the sporting spirit or sportsmanship that is the right spirit in which games to be played. The spirit is well expressed by a noted author that

“And it’s not for the sake of a rib boned coat,
Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame,
But his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote –
‘Play up! Play up ! And play the game! ’ ”

Sporting spirit is made up of various elements like fair play, enthusiasm and a keen desire to win besides generosity to opponents and to keep calm and patience in all circumstances even in case of defeats. Rather, he should sincerely congratulate his triumphant opponent and show no signs of humiliation or vexation.

Though there is always a competition involved but outcome is not loosing or sitting out.

Then games to play may be divided into another group based upon initiative to teach leadership skills and growth of problem-solving skills and trust among group of players. These games boost one to create community change and powerful and meaningful gain to the society or group. Mostly these games are challenges or solving problems or doing some activities.

Importance of Games

There is no doubt that many outdoor games, such as football, hockey and cricket, are very good for mental and physical growth of boys and girls. They provide physical exercise as well as mental growth, as games improve upon the concentration as well as confidence to win. Moreover, playing games improve upon skills of one by training them to work together in a team, teach corporate discipline, and so promote what is called ‘espirt de corps’.

All this would be agreed to by everyone that to play games is most important part of our life and thus can not be overlooked. Most of the people are of opinion that playing games should be made compulsory in the schools as well as colleges and other educational institutions so as to develop the minds and skills of the every being. Now-a-days, most of educational institutions have introduced lot many games including chess, carom, badminton, swimming, horse-riding, cricket, hockey, football, squash and such other games at grass root level say even in pre-school stages too. They are of the view that playing games improve upon concentration besides children indulging in games are more attentive to their studies.

However, as logical there are some who would argue and are against this thought pleading that games discourage one from the studies and if they loose in the games also hurt their confidence. They also argue that playing games make one specially kids more violent than normal ones because to win makes them hungry for success but loosing reduces their confidence and make them violent. There have been numerous cases of such children across the world when children of different ages have been found to be violent after being deprived of success in the games and field they were in.

Apart from these different arguments, no body can challenge the thought of inspiration and concentration one improves when participating in games. Even indoor games also produce same result however, deprive the participants of physical exercises must for a fit and healthy body.

Thus to our point of view and final verdict, playing games are a valuable part of our life and one should not be deprived of the games as these not only help in moral training, obedience, voluntary discipline, co-operation, sense of fair-play and sorting spirit but also self-control, pluck and the sacrifice of self for the good of the whole. This is also a plain fact and truth that “the battle of Waterloo was won the playing-fields of Eton”.
