1. An essay on My Favourite Game.
“All works and no play make Jack a dull boy” goes the famous saying. I too enjoy
playing all sorts of games-both indoors as well as outdoors. Among the indoor
games, I enjoy playing carom and chess the most. I also enjoy playing badminton
and table tennis with my friends and cousins.
But the game I like the most is cricket. I not only enjoy playing this game but also
watching it. It is my favorite game. We play cricket in our school also. I am in our
school team and I really enjoy playing for our school. I open innings for our
school’s team.
I like all the aspects of the game-batting, fielding and bowling. I especially like
taking catches and diving to stop the boundaries during fielding. I bowl
sometimes. But it is batting that I enjoy the most. I am also the vice-captain of the
school team. In the last inter-school tournament, our school had grabbed the
trophy and I had contributed 58 runs in my team’s score.
Our coach is very hardworking too. We practice every day from 6AM to 8AM in
the morning and 4PM to 5PM in the evening. We first warm up by taking a few
rounds of our ground, then we do a few stretching and fitness exercises. Then
we practice as per our turns-fielding, batting or bowling.
I also enjoy watching the game whenever there is a live telecast on television.
India is of course my favourite team but I also like watching the Australian and
Srilankan teams. I therefore enjoy watching any match of the Indian team and if
the other team is also one of my favourites, it is like a cherry on the cake.
Recently, I got a chance to watch a live cricket match at the Feroz Shah Kotla
Stadium between India and srilanka. It was a thrilling experience. I enjoyed the
match especially, the great performances of captain Dravid, Sehwag, Tendulkar,
Dhoni, Kaif and Kumble. Sachin Tendulkar is my favorite batsman. But the new
sensation Dhoni too has won the hearts of many people including mine. It was a
great joy to watch my favourite teams pitched up against each other. India had
won in the end, therefore our joy was doubled and we felt our watching the Match

2. was even more rewarded. I wish, I could get such more chances to watch live
matches.
My favorite game 2
I play many games. They include both outdoor and indoor games. I also like to
play cricket, table tennis and volleyball. But badminton is my favourite game. It is
a fascinating game.
It is played between two parties. Each party may have one or two players. They
stand opposite to one another.
In between there is a net spread wide. It is played with rackets and a shuttle-cock.
The shuttle-cock is made of crock and feathers.
Badminton is a game of skill. A badminton player should have strong hands and
legs. He should be very agile. He should be able to run quickly, jump and hop
instantly.
I am a good player of badminton. I enjoy it very much. I am Captain of our school
Junior Badminton Team.
I go to the stadium for practice daily. I hope to play for my country someday. On
holidays I enjoy it at home with my brother and sister. I shall continue to play it
all my life.
A game is an activity involving one or more players. Games are played primarily for
entertainment or enjoyment, but may also serve as exercise. Everyone in this world has
their own favorite games, so do I. My favorite game is football. I often play this with my
friends in the evening. I like this game because it is exciting and challenging.
Football is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a ball
game played on a rectangular grass field with a goal at each end. The objective of the
game is to score by maneuvering the ball into the opposing team's goal. The winner is
the team which has scored the most goals at the end of the match.
Football is played at a professional level all over the world. Millions of people regularly

3. go to football stadiums to follow their favorite team, whilst millions more avidly watch the
game on television. A very large number of people also play football at an amateur
level. In many parts of the world, football evokes great passions and plays an important
role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore
often claimed to be the most popular sport in the world.
There are many worldwide international football competitions. One of theseis the
World Cup organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association. Over 190
national teams compete in qualifying tournaments within the scope of continental
confederations for a place in the finals. The finals tournament, which is held every four
years, now involves 32 national teams competing. The next World Cup takes place in
Germany 2006.
The football star I admire most is Edson Arantes do Nascimento, nicknamed
Pelé. Pele is a former Brazilian football player thought by many to be the finest player of
all time. Often considered the perfect attacking player, he was completely two-footed, a
prolific finisher, exceptional at dribbling and passing, and was a remarkably good tackler
for a forward. He was also famed for his speed and strength on the ball. Since his full
retirement he has served as an ambassador for the sport.
There are many reasons football is my favorite game. I wish to become a professional
football player. I learnt teambuilding, discipline as well as teamwork through playing
football.
Basketball is my favorite sport
The sport of basketball is known as a fun past time for any person young or
old. Basketball is a great way of exercise and a great way to have fun with
friends and possibly make some new ones. I love to watch and play the
game, basketball is a very entertaining sport and can be played by anyone.
Basketball has many negative and positive things about it based on my
opinion. Basketball is known as a good pastime in many people’s eyes but
can also be seen as a passion for many others.
Basketball in my opinion the best thing I can do with my friends to have fun
while burning a few calories. I see basketball as a fun and easy way to have
fun rather than sitting on the couch all day playing video games or watching
television. One reason I love basketball is because you need only yourself to
play the game or, you can play with teammates. I prefer to have others to

4. play with rather than just playing alone. To me there is not only one word
that I can describe basketball. You meet tons of people and you are able to
play with your friends for hours without getting one thought of boredom.
One thing I love about basketball is that people have many different styles
of play. There are styles such as a passer, playmaker, shooter, defensive
player, and dunker or highflyer. When you play basketball you feel much
more confident and makes you not care much about how others think about
you. When I possess the ball in basketball I have the mentality of being the
best and no one could stop me. Many people have creative ideas and find
new ways to trick the opposing players. Playing Basketball is very
entertaining since there are endless ideas you can think of just with a hoop
and a basketball. There are many reasons why I love to play the game of
Basketball but I also love to watch the game also.
Basketball to me is overall the best sport out of all of the other sports such
as baseball, soccer, and football. I also believe out of all these sports
basketball is the best sport to watch on television. Basketball is very fun to
watch on television because when you watch it you can take the moves you
see the professional’s perform and add them to your style of play. I take
many of my moves from professional basketball players and make them my
own because they expand my arsenal of tricks. There are a variety of tricks
the players perform during games it makes the games much more enjoyable
to be watching. My favorite player to watch is Kobe Bryant. He makes
basketball seem as a mere game for little kids. He is an all around athlete is
still going strong at 30 years old. He is a big role model to many kids who
enjoy playing this sport. Kobe can do anything he is a very versatile player
and could get anywhere around the court in a blink of an eye. Bryant is the
definition of all-around in my book. He knows how to play both sides of the
game offense and defense. I look at Kobe Bryant as the ultimate weapon. I
want to play like him as I continue to get better and better every time I play
basketball. Kobe makes the game much more enjoyable to watch because of
his acrobatic shots and stunning defense. Basketball is my favorite sport of
all-time. There are just endless possibilities when it comes to the thought of
basketball.
Basketball is a great way to get your mind off things and is also a great way
to express yourself. It is a sport that can work your whole body. It’s a great

5. pastime for any one and is a great way to bond with family members and
friends. I see in my eyes that basketball is very addicting and makes you
want to play more and more of it. Basketball is known as a good pastime in
many people’s eyes but can also be seen as a passion for many others.
