Finding ways to be fit is a must if one wants to live better. Recreational Activities are
activities that give pleasure or leisure like gardening, playing sports or dancing, sewing,

spare time like reading, meditating, drawing, and engaging in popular activities. Leisure and
recreation offer a solid basis for the activities and facilities, and both are concerned with

Indoor games can be very interesting and exciting because we use our mind to think,
body to move, and manipulate things to win. Below are some examples of indoor games.

Badminton
The roots of the sports could be traced back to ancient Greece,
China and India. It was in the mid18 th century when poona became
popular in India through the British military who were stationed at
Pune. In 1870’s the game was brought to England and was
introduced by the Duke of Beaufort in a form of recreational game.
Around the 19th century the game was played with nets and called
battledore (bat) and shuttlecock then later name badminton as the
official name. In 1972 badminton was introduced as a demonstration
game in the Olympics held at Munich. And by 1992 at Barcelona,
Spain badminton become became an official part of the Olympic
game.

Badminton could be played by single (male/female) or double

(male/female/mix). The aim is to score by hitting the shuttlecock across the net and landing
inside the opponent's half of the court without the opponent being able to return back to your
court. A match consists of 3 sets of 21 points and a match is won by winning 2 sets out of 3.
In case of 20 all, the side which gains a 2-point lead first, wins the game. Basic skills like
strokes (backhand, forehand underhand and overhead), stance, grip, footwork, service and
shots (clear, drop, and smash) are inessential in winning the game.

• In older days the string of the badminton racket was

made of cat’s stomach lining.

• The shuttle is made from the left wing of a goose.

Bowling
Known as one of the oldest games of the world, bowling also
called as tenpins could be traced way back 7000 years ago in Egypt.
Where Egyptians rolled stones at various objects knocking over.
However, it gained its popularity in Germany during the Middle Ages
not as a sport but a religious ritual. In 1325, laws were passed in
Berlin and Cologne that limited bets on lawn bowling. Indoor alleys
were built in New York City in 1840. In 1890, the game flourished in
Eastern and Midwestern cities in Germany. In the Philippines, “Paeng”
or Rafael Nepomuceno, a Pilipino world class Bowling champion was
known worldwide due to his track record: World Cup, 1976, 1980,
1992 and 1996.

Bowling is played indoors on wooden or synthetic lanes with maximum dimensions of 60 ft.
long and 42 in width. The game aims to knock down ten pens on the first strike if not on the
second using a heavy ball rolled down along the narrow lane. There are 10 scoring frames.
Each frame is one turn, but you get two throws in each frame. The number of pins knocked
down with both throws is added to your total score. Equipment used are pins, bowling ball,
lane and shoes.

Bowling Terms:

1. Strike- when the first ball knocked down all ten pins.
2. Spare – a player knocked down all pens second time after knocking all pins on the first
ball.
3. Brooklyn - this is when a player obtains a strike by hitting the pins in the opposite
pocket from which he/she has thrown the ball.

Did you know?

In 1511, King Henry VIII, king of England, an

avid fan of Bowling , banned the game among the

lower class and imposed heavy fines so that only

the elite can play the sport.

Dance

Dance is defined as the sequence of bodily movement

moving rhythmically usually to music. Often time it is an avenue in
releasing energy, expressing an idea of intense emotion or simply having fun in the movement
itself. Ancient history tells us that dance is a form of religious ceremony which people believe
it’s their way to communicate gods and understand the world around them. Such dance like
Hindu’s “Bharata
Nhatyam” which still perform until this day.

The earliest evidence on the origin of dance pinpoint in 9000-year-old India’s or 5300-
year-old Egypt’s cave paintings. The Renaissance period brought a huge evolution in dancing.
The introduction of ballet
and social dancing changed the belief of people from ceremonial to entertainment to
seduction. In the Philippines, dances were designed to honor gods and thanksgiving/asking
for rain and harvest.

Today, dance morphed into different varieties (hip hop, Ballet, Jazz, Ballroom dances,
folk dances etc.) and can be performed in different functions (competition, social, ceremonial).

Did you know?

That there’s an epidemic called the Dance Plague in

1518? A woman named Fru suddenly stepped into the
street and began to dance unstoppably for days and
within a week more than 30 people were inflicted the
same way. They kept going to the point they injured
themselves and some of them even died.

OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Obviously outdoor recreation and pandemics don’t go together. Knowing that

transmission of the virus is its highest when people are outside. You might wonder, if it is safe
to go outside. The answer is YES as long as it is a non-crowded place, and you observe proper
social distancing.

Outdoor recreation aims to give leisure AS YOU INTERACT WITH the natural
environment. BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.

Hiking is a long walk either for pleasure or exercise. Oftentimes it’s associated with
mountaineering, trekking and mountain climbing. It is believed that hiking starts from the

great approach to meditate and clear mind.
