Subject: Sports and games-integral to the school curriculum


Sir


Through the columns of your esteemed daily, i would like to highlight the importance of sports and games in the school curriculum. Sports and games are an integral part of student’s life.


Sports make the mind s of children to be refreshed and they are taught how to accept both success and failure which will reflect in their lives too in the future. A real sports man should be encouraged and sports and games make the children physically and mentally fit.


Sports and games help the children to develop their skills and to identify their own strong and weak points. I request you to kindly publish my views on the topic to promote sports and games in the school curriculum.


Thanking You


Yours Sincerely,


Aman
