Answer 1

Outdoor play is beneficial towards a learner's holistic development. It is vital to learner's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development. Children who play outdoors improve their motor skills, body mass index, overall health and muscle strength. Spending active time outdoors as a kid is also important for life- long health. Children that are active in their early years generally continue to be more active as they age. Encouraging outdoor play in young children helps develop a healthy attitude about maintaining an active adult lifestyle.
