Lesson: Concept of Recreation

What’s New

Activity 1: LET’S DANCE

Stretch. Stretch. Stretch. I know that you are already bored at home. But hey, break the ice
by dancing to the music of your choice. You want Budots or Tik-Tok? Let all the family members
take turn in dancing your hearts away. With this activity, you will not only forget the boredom you
experienced the whole long vacation but unknowingly, you have stretched your muscles. It’s a good
bonding with the whole family, too!

What Is It?

It’s been months that you are staying at home. It was a longer vacation that you experienced
because of the threat of the COVID-19. You may be bored but don’t worry. You can turn the things
around you into something that gives you self-gratification. There are many recreational activities you
can do to relax and to enjoy.
Any activity that takes place during your free time is referred to as recreation. It does not
follow standard rules; it can be done anywhere; and most of all, it gives enjoyment and self-
satisfaction. Recreation is derived from the Latin word, “recreare” which means to be refreshed
(mapasigla), to relax or to enjoy. Participation in recreational activities varies from one person to
another depending on one’s intention, reason or belief.
How do you spend your free time? Recreation is categorized into active recreation and
passive recreation. Active recreational activities include jogging, swimming, hiking, biking or
gardening while passive recreational activities include watching television, listening to music or
reading books. Moreover, active recreational activities can be done indoor or outdoor. Where do you
prefer to do recreational activities? It depends on you. Whether indoor or outdoor, what matters
most is its holistic impact on you as a person.
Having in touch with nature can give so much relaxation. Walking on green grass by the
woods or just watching birds early in the morning while holding hands with your loved ones (family) is
a unique bonding time away from the day-to-day routine. Others love to do these activities in water
while those adventurers would prefer more on air. Our country has many places to explore and to

1
start many recreational activities, whether on land, in air or on water. In your community, what
activities can you offer? Have you tried it before?

Lesson: Mountaineering (Hiking, Trekking, Camping, Orienteering)

What’s In

How was your aquatic activity at home? Did you just enjoy a bucket of water in taking a bath or
you just had a very relaxing time while singing under the shower? Perhaps, you made your own
version of a bathtub or a swimming pool where you completely submerged your body to be refreshed
from the very hot days during your vacation. Only if you were allowed to go out on hiking or jogging
and feel the cold breeze early in the morning, you would have been doing it on a daily basis in order
to stay fit. Did you miss it already? Relax and enjoy as you are about to explore the caves of
knowledge and climb the mountains of activities this lesson is going to offer you.

What I Need to Know

At the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

1. Discuss the nature of mountaineering;
2. Identify the different outdoor recreational activities related to mountaineering;
3. Advocate community/home efforts to increase participation in outdoor recreational activities.

What Is It?

Are you planning a walk after the community quarantine? How about a longer walk with your
loved ones (family and friends)? Have you explored the mountains, hills, caves, forests or hidden
falls in/near your community? If your answer is no, then think again. Maybe you are still a stranger in
your own place.
Consider some outdoor recreational activities that bring you closer to nature. It is very relaxing
to hear the sound of singing birds and bubbling brooks; very soothing when you feel the breath of
fresh air on your face and smell the divine fragrance of flowers. A line in an energy beverage
commercial says, “Great things start from small beginning.” So, start your recreational activities with
hiking and/or jogging even within your compound this season.
To fully understand, the following terms related to mountaineering are defined below.

Recreational Activity Definition

It is an outdoor activity where there are clear paths to
follow. Paths are usually beautifully charted with signs
Hiking so that hikers won’t get lost along the trails. Natural
hiking trails serve as guides of the hikers to their
destinations. It is usually shorter than trekking.
This outdoor activity is a longer journey on foot
compared to hiking. The activity is quite challenging,
allowing the trekkers to pass through an uncharted
Trekking paths. Sometimes, this will take within a few days or
weeks. Usually, undeveloped places are explored in
trekking where there is a close-up view of the wonders of
nature.
Camping Camping is an enjoyable outdoor activity that allows you
6
 to experience simple adventures outside your homes. It
allows a lot of moving since it involves activities like
carrying backpacks, hiking and most of all pitching of
tents. This activity lets you experience interaction and
bonding with others while engaging in different
educational activities.
It is an outdoor activity that requires you to follow a
specific sequence of pre-set course with the help of
navigating devices, specifically maps and compass to go
Orienteering
through an unfamiliar terrain. Aside from physical, this
activity requires mental toughness to be able to reach the
expected destination.

You can always make your own version of these recreational activities at home. Just be
creative and innovative. Even a simple household chore can be converted into something that will
give you and your loved ones an avenue to enjoy, relax and bond with one another during quarantine
period.

Activity 3. CAMPING FOR FUN

1. Put up a tent on your lawn on a starry night. Allow the whole family to suggest activities
and participate in your organized camping. Suggested activities may include but not limited
to story-telling, eating dinner together, stargazing or making hand shadows. How would
you evaluate this activity? Does it support relaxation, enjoyment and family bonding?
