Traditional sports and games are a means to encourage values of solidarity, fair-play, inclusion, and cultural awareness. In addition, traditional sports and games reflect cultural diversity, and foster mutual understanding and tolerance among communities and nations.
Every region in Pakistan has traditional sports that are played and celebrated among locals; depicting a picture of energy, joy, and cultural richness. These are conducive to physical health and fitness and require minimal resources. The true flavor of these games lies in their accessibility and ease of play.
At Beaconhouse Askari 10 we have showed that aside from building fond childhood memories, these games have been important in developing early cognitive abilities like gross and fine motor skills, critical thinking, negotiating and conflict resolution. They help us learn about teamwork and deep friendships; essential for healthy and holistic development.
Beaconhouse firmly believes that it is important to safeguard and promote sports and games. Hence keeping that in mind Beaconhouse Askari 10 campus organised Early Years sports fest to encourage young athletes. The event was titled ” Winter blast” themed winter sports.
