Abstract

“Saving of good days is a waste of bad days”. The growth and development of children means national growth and development. At this time of (COVID-19) epidemic, worldwide everyone including children, is almost under house arrest. Therefore, it is important for everyone to take full advantage of their valuable resources like folk games. It is possible to achieve normal growth and development of children through this. Just as plants need light, air, water and soil for growth, so sports and exercise are essential for the growth and development of children. If children of any age do not grow and develop properly, it will affect the next generation. So children must be involved in sports and exercises invariably especially in babyhood, early childhood, late childhood, preadolescence and adolescence.
