Activity 1
1. Based from your readings and understanding of the module that I have
given for P.E 4 Recreation and Leisure Activities, how will you put in your
own words the meaning of recreation?
- For me recreation means an any outdoor doings or activity under- taken for
the purpose of exercise, relaxation or pleasure, including practice or instruction
in any such activity.
2. What are the different social factors affecting recreation? Briefly explain
each.
1. Increase in Discretionary Time - The growth of individual discretionary
time has long been considered a major influence in the increased
participation in recreation activities.
2. National Affluence—or Not! - A second critical factor stemmed from
the dramatic growth of the gross national product (GNP) and personal
income.
3. Commodification of Leisure - This contrast is heightened by what has
been termed the “commodification” of leisure.
4. Population Trends- In October 2006, the U.S. population passed the
300-million mark, making the United States the third most populous
nation in the world behind China and India. The steady growth in the
population and diversity has increasing impacts on recreation demand
and participation.
5. Where People Live: Urban, Suburb, Exurb History has recorded the
decline of rural populations, the growth of cities and industrialization,
the growth of suburbs and exurbs, the decline of the inner city, and the
simultaneous revitalization of cities and urban areas. In the 1950s,
people began to commute into the city.
 6. Influence of Technology Over the past several decades, sophisticated
technology has played a key role in providing new forms of play for the
American population.
7. Recreation’s Contribution to Health and Fitness - A key trend
continuing in our society is public interest in exercise and physical
fitness programs.
8. Environmental Concerns –
9. The Changing Family Over the last 30 years, families have changed
more than in the previous 200 years
10. Maturation of Organized Leisure-Service Field

3. What do you think are the challenges being faced by recreation during
this pandemic? Justify your answer.
- For me it is the time and space of recreational activities to be done
because of this pandemic other doings in recreation like traveling,
hiking, adventures, going to parks will not be done anymore because
of this pandemic. Also doing recreation activities is now limited
because of this.
4. During this pandemic how do you keep yourself occupied and busy? What
recreational activities makes you busy?
- I keep myself busy through doing such a recreational and leisure
activity like movie marathon, doing home chores and other enjoyable
routine activities. Through that I can keep myself busy.
 Activity 2
1. What was the relationship among recreation, leisure and play?
Recreation, Play, and Leisure all have one thing in common: they all center
upon activity. An activity can be conscious or unconscious, and integrated into
a daily routine. There are many benefits of activity such as stress and coping
skills, feeling accomplished, engaging the mind, preventing social isolation,
staying healthy, becoming motivated, and gaining satisfaction. Activities have
a purpose and expected outcome. Although there are many benefits to
activity, there can also be factors that get in the way. For example, sometimes
time and money put a strain on the activities that I can do. Various situations
put a wedge between people and activities, such as, distance, health, social
circles, ability, age, and transportation.
2. What are the different meaning of leisure based on your modules?
● Leisure as a symbol of social class - the ruling classes together with the extremely
wealthy people has identified themselves sharply through the possesion and use of
leisure. The possesion and visible use of leisure became the hallmark of the upper class
in 19th century.

● Leisure as unobligated time the most common approach to leisure is to regard it as

unobligated time. It is the free time after the practical necessities of life have been
attended to ...

● Leisure as activity - it an activity in which people engage during their free time. For
example, reading books, going to a museum, watching a film and etc. Any activity
relating to a free time or leisure can be defined as leisure as activity.
● Leisure as a state of being marked by freedom - this places the emphasis on the
perceived freedom of the activity and on the role of leisure involvement in helping the
individual achieve personnal fulfillment and self enrichment.

● Leisure as spiritual expression - this kind sees it in terms of contribution to spiritual

expression or religious values. Leisure and religion can be linked to form harmonously
the sprirituality of man.
● Classical view of leisure - for Aristotle as the classic personality," it is a state of being in
which activity is performed for it's own sake." It is something that contrasted with work
or purposeful action rather that makong arts, and etc.
3. Enumerate the different theories associated with play and choose one theory that
supports your own point of view of the definition of play.

Play theories are divided into:

• Surplus Energy Theories

 Activity 3

1. Enumerate other traditional games that are not listed in the module and explain each.
Enumerate at least 10.
Ubusan Lahi
- game of conquer - One tries to conquer the members of a group (as in claiming the members
of another's clan). The tagged player from the main group automatically becomes an ally of the
tagger. The more players, the better. The game will start with only one it and then try to find
and tag other players. Once one player is tagged, he or she then will help the it to tag the other
players until no other participant is left. Some people also know this a Bansai.
Tumbang Preso

Tumbang Preso is a popular Filipino street game also known as Presohan.

The game requires 3 or more players. Each player is provided with a large throw-away object
(could be slippers or a shoe) called "pamato". A semi-flattened empty tin or plastic container
(the size of an 8 or 12 oz. tins) is placed in upright position 6 or 8 meters from the throwing line.
A player is drawn as the prisoner (usually through a system like Jack en Poy). The prisoner will
guard the empty tin or container.

The other players stand at the throwing line. They take turns throwing their "pamato" at the
empty tin, trying to knock it down. As soon as the can is knocked down, the prisoner must put
back the tin in upright position before he can tag the any of the players attempting to recover
their "pamato". If the "pamato" becomes too close to the tin in an upright position, so that the
prisoner can step on both with one foot, the owner of the "pamato" becomes the new
"prisoner". The prisoner can also tag the players while recovering their "pamato" outside the
throwing line.
After each throw, a player must recover his "pamato". Should he be tagged by the prisoner
before he reaches the throwing line, he becomes the prisoner in the next game.

Patintero

 Harangang taga - try to cross my line without letting me touch or catch you - Each member of
the group who is it stands on the water lines. The perpendicular line in the middle allows
the it designated on that line to intersect the lines occupied by the it that the parallel line
intersects, thus increasing the chances of the runners to be trapped.even only one(1) member
of a group is tagged the whole group will be the "it".

Piko

hopscotch- The players stand behind the edge of a box, and each should throw their cue ball.
The first to play is determined depending on the players' agreement (e.g. nearest to the moon,
wings or chest). Whoever succeeds in throwing the cue ball nearest to the place that they have
agreed upon will play first. The next nearest is second, and so on.

Pitik-Bulag

This game involves 2 players. One covers his eyes with a hand while the other flicks a finger
(pitik) over the hand covering the eyes. The person with the covered eyes gives a number with
his hand the same time the other does. If their numbers are the same, then they exchange roles
in the game.

Sambunot
Sambunot is a Philippine game which may be played outdoors by ten or more players, but not
to exceed twenty. The goal in the game is to get the coconut husk out of the circle.

A circle is drawn on the floor, big enough to accommodate the number of players. A coconut
husk is placed at the center of the circle. The players position themselves inside the circle. At
the signal ″GO,″ players will rush to the center to get the coconut husk. Players may steal the
coconut husk from another player in an attempt to be the one to take the husk put of the circle.
A player who is successful in getting out of the circle with the coconut husk wins, and the game
starts again.

- game of kick - The object being used to play the game is also called sipa. It is made of a
washer with colorful threads, usually plastic straw, attached to it. The sipa is then thrown
upwards for the player toss using his/her foot. The player must not allow the sipa to touch the
ground by hitting it several times with his/her foot, and sometimes the part just above the
knee. The player must count the number of times he/she was able to kick the sipa. The one
with most number of kicks wins the game. Sipa is also the term used for the Filipino variant of
Sepak Takraw.this game is called"pambansang laro".

Taguan
-  hide and seek  in America. What is unique in Tagu-Taguan compared to its counterpart, hide
and seek, is that this game is usually played at sunset or at night as a challenge for the it to
locate those who are hiding.
Takip-Silim
 - twilight game, look out, cover yourself! or take-cover game! - Participants usually step on
couches, hide under tables, or wrap themselves in curtains – much to the dismay of neat-freak
parents.

A game involving 2 pairs, with one utilizing a stretched length of garter. One pair faces each
other from a distance and has the garter stretched around them in such a way that a pair of
parallel lengths of garter is between them. The members of the other pair, then begin doing a
jumping "routine" over the garters while singing a song ("ten, twenty, thirty, and so on until one
hundred). Each level begins with the garters at ankle-height and progresses to higher positions,
with the players jumping nimbly on the garters while doing their routines.

encourages teamwork, but is also a chance for your team to find out more about their co-workers
interests.

routes, and keep each other accountable. 
You could have a competition for the fastest time or furthest distance, and entice your team with fun
prizes to keep everyone moving.
