Essay On MY FAVOURITE GAME
Types of Game
Various types of games are played in our country. We can divide them into two types-indoor and outdoor games. Chess, chauper, cards, ludo, carrom etc. are indoor games. Hockey, football, cricket, basket-ball, tennis, badminton etc. are outdoor and foreign games. Kabaddi, hunting, horse riding, wrestling, swimming, cock-fighting, bull fighting, tonga-race etc. are long outdoor games but they are Indian ones. Some games are played in towns and some are popular among the villagers. Hockey, football and cricket are very popular in towns.
I am a good player. Hence I take part in all the outdoor games. Each boy has his own choice. Some like hockey, others like football, while many others consider cricket to be their best game. The game which I like most is football.
Reasons behind my preference
I prefer football to any other game. It can be easily explained. The main object of all games is to give us some exercise. This is one reason why football is my favourite game. It helps our body to grow. It brings a sense of discipline and a habit of endurance in us. A good football player is sure to succeed in any walk of life. He can make himself a great soldier to defend his country. He can be a clever statesman to run the government.
There is no other game which gives hard exercise. Surely none other except hockey. But hockey carries many risks for the life of a player. It also makes the player quarrelsome. Often he uses sticks as his weapon.
Another reason of my choice is that it is very eco nomical. It does not require costly equipment. A ball and a well levelled ground is all that is required to start our game. And then it is easy to pick up its rules. We do not require any special coach for it is learnt so easily by boys that they begin to play it in a very young age. They dare not to play hockey or cricket.
Number of players and mode of playing
Like hockey or cricket, football is played by two teams of eleven boys. A team consists of five forwards, three half backs, two full backs and one goalkeeper. The player kicks the ball with his feet. But he may touch it with any other part except with his hands. The goalkeeper, however, can use his hands as well. A player. may be tempted to push an opponent to go far ahead of the ball near the opposite goal. So pushing and off side are regarded as a foul play. The penalty for a foul is a kick by a player of the opposite team. The fewer fouls you make, the more chances you have to win the game.
The game of football gives us good exercise. We have to be vigilant and alert. It encourages team spirit. Educational institutions should attach a great importance to games and sports. Games should be made compulsory in all schools and colleges and students should be encouraged to take part in them. They make them sound physically and mentally. So it is very essential for a student to take part in games.
