Recreation is an activity of leisure, which is an

essential element of human biology and psychology.
Recreational activities are often done for enjoyment,
amusement, pleasure or health  benefits  and  are
considered to be fun. Recreation refers to the time spent in
an activity one loves to engage in, with an intent to feel
refreshed. It is a break from monotony and a diversion from
the daily routine. It is a positive change from the
stereotypical  lifestyle. Recreational activities give
enjoyment because while recreating one engages in
something he likes. They are a source of joy and provide
relaxation for one’s mind and body. Recreational activities
can be grouped into two groups: indoor and outdoor

organizations. Sports, cultural activities and social
