Why
play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the
rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member…these are all “game”
ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think
about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and
hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more
importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some
of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives,
such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) .
Many
children’s games have a practical side Children around the world play games
that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi
Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand-eye
coordination(协调)needed in hunting.
Many
sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the
Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in
friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a
gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it.
For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so
much.
Sports
are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the
world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living.
Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread
hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not
only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next
time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what
skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of
your life.
