(This post is part of the A to Z Challenge. I am writing this month on activities that keep me refreshed during these depressing days. It's Day 7 today.)
One of my activities to break free of monotony and stress is playing games. Nothing like a game of badminton or table tennis. They help us burn lots of calories in a short time. During my school and college days, I used to play cricket, hockey and tennis.
My earliest memories of games are of board games. As children, we used to play 'snakes and ladders' and carroms.
Now, of course, there is no dearth of games. There are plenty of them online. One can even compete with others sitting miles and miles away.
One of the simplest games I have found is Brick Classic - Brick Game.
Among the word games, Scrabble perhaps is the most popular one. Then, of course, there is Sudoku. Another one which I like is Word Connect - Word Games Puzzle. Then there is the jumbled letters game.
These games are not only pleasant distractions but also exercise for the brain. The challenge prods the grey cells into working and keep them active; thereby refreshing our mind and body.
Do you play games? If so, which are your favourite ones?
