INTRODUCTION
“all work and no play make jack a dull boy” goes a popular
saying.
The significance of this saying has increased manifold in
today’s fast-paced and competitive world where students are
forced by both their guardians and the conglomerate of society
and situations as a whole to devote increasing hours in
academic learning, whether theoretical or practical and
knowledge enhancing activities so that they can stay ahead in
the rat race. add to that the present way of life where people
mostly stay in small nuclear families and with parents working,
the viability of our own home as a place where we can have
recreational time has diminished.

Many forces in modern society tend to separate people into distinct and
often hostile groups, based on differences in their economic status, social
position, race, creed, nationality, education or cultural background.
Consequently, it grows suspicion, distrust, and dislike of our fellowmen and
a lack of neighborliness and unity of interest. Recreation affords a common
ground/common platform where differences may be forgotten in the joy of
participation or achievement. Recreation is essentially democratic; interest
and skill in sports, drama, or art are shared by all groups and classes.

Democracy and recreation are alike in spirit and each tends to promote and
strengthen the other. Democracy is committed to giving each individual the
opportunity to grow fully, express himself freely and achieve an abundant
life. Recreation which represents activity freely chosen, offers the individual

development of his powers, helps him in attaining the objectives of

Leaders in business and industry have long realized that the way in which
their employees spend their leisure hours influences effectiveness on the
job. In the welfare states of the world hundred of dollars are being spent per
year to care for one delinquent whereas a playground, which may prevent
children from becoming delinquents, can be operated at an annual cost of
only a few dollars per child served.
FORMS OF RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES:
Philippines is rich in traditional games that mark in the heart of the 90's
Filipino children, back when electronic devices weren't common. As kids we
had made bounds and leaps to make past time - fun time. I remember
when i was a kid; I used to play lot of the larong lahi with my cousins and
neighbors. These larong lahi usually played using the native materials or
instruments. And due to limited resources of the toys, young Filipinos used
their creativity of creating and inventing games without the need of
anything but the players themselves and make the game more interesting
and challenging.
