Outdoor playground games are activities that use the whole body senses to participate in an individual or group way, accompanied by sunshine and fresh air.

Kids who are addicted to video games are unable to feel the beauty of the outside world. Video games can deepen the gap between children and family if childrencan only focus on games and pay no attention to real life. Then kids’ contacts with family members will become less. It can be a serious issue in the long run. Children regard games as their own partners and family members while ignore the family members around them who are really care about them, and become emotionally indifferent.
Research shows that children who often play outdoors are strong, not afraid of wind and cold, and rarely get sick throughout the year. Children who are afraid of heat in summer and cold in winter are rather vulnerable. They cannot adapt to the changing seasons and are prone to colds. One of the signs of human health is the ability to adapt to changes in the external environment.
Among the factors that determine adaptability, the skin plays an important role, because there are countless nerve endings in the skin that sense external stimuli. Children do more outdoor activities, and use the stimulation of natural conditions such as sunlight to improve their ability to regulate their body temperature, so as to improve their physical health. Children who often exercise outdoors are stimulated by cold, and their body temperature drops slightly and recovers quickly. On the other hand, children who lack outdoor exercise have a slower drop in body temperature and slower recovery. With the stimulation of the cold, the metabolism of the whole body is strengthened, the blood supply in the internal organs increases, and the internal organs are also exercised. Therefore, the resistance of children who often engage in outdoor activities is stronger than that of other children.
In outdoor activities, children are less restricted, and they are active participants in activities in more cases, so they can give full play to their imagination and hands-on ability and creativity.

Some experts suggest: Early computer access may lead to ADHD and Tourette's syndrome. Therefore, it is better to let the kids go to outdoor activities .
Experts believe that most of the entertainment items of game consoles are some intense and thrilling action scenes, which require a high degree of cooperation of the eyes, brain and hands, and rely on the rapid feeling, analysis, judgment and reaction of the brain and nerves at all levels. This high level of mental state can lead to neuropsychiatric activity disorders and cause headaches, irritability, dizziness, drowsiness, trance at night and other symptoms. It also causes excessive secretion of adrenaline. Causes damage to the cardiovascular system. High stress and lack of exercise can also reduce gastric secretions, cause indigestion, constipation, and cause obesity and other conditions.
