8. History of Outdoor Activities: Evolution from Survival to Recreation

9. Early Human Survival Skills During the primitive era, humans relied on hunting, gathering, fishing, and foraging for survival, requiring deep knowledge of nature and animal behavior.

10. Development of Tools and Techniques: Humans developed tools like spears, bows, arrows, and fishing gear for survival, along with techniques for tracking animals, building shelters, and creating fire for wild survival.

11. Transition to Agricultural Societies Around 10,000 years ago, agriculture led societies to settle and cultivate land, reducing hunting and gathering, but outdoor activities remained central through farming, herding, and land management.

12. Cultural Practices: Outdoor activities like planting, harvesting, and animal husbandry have become deeply ingrained in many societies' cultural and religious practices, often celebrated through festivals and rituals.

13. Physical Health Benefits Outdoor activities can improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart muscle, reducing the risk of heart disease, and increasing muscle strength and endurance. They also improve flexibility and balance, as they involve stretching and dynamic movements. Outdoor activities also contribute to weight management by burning calories, improving metabolism, and regulating blood sugar levels. They also stimulate bone formation, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, outdoor activities increase exposure to sunlight, a natural source of vitamin D, which is essential for calcium absorption and bone health.

Outdoor activities also help reduce anxiety and depression by releasing endorphins, the body's natural mood elevators. They also promote social connections, team building, and a sense of belonging. Outdoor activities also encourage mindfulness, promoting a sense of presence and reducing stress. Overall, outdoor activities contribute to overall well-being, mental health, and a sense of belonging and purpose.

16. Objective: To familiarize students with the campus layout and identify suitable locations for various outdoor activities. Tour the Campus: Walk through key areas of the campus to observe and identify potential activity spaces. Activity # 1 Preparation: Obtain Materials: Get blank paper or drawing sheets and necessary drawing tools. Form Groups: Work in small groups to complete the task.

17. Steps: Drawing the Map: Start with a Layout: Draw Basic Structure: Begin by sketching the main building, canteen, parking lot, and other significant structures based on their actual positions and relative sizes. Mark Key Features : Include the basketball court, gate entrance and exit, and admin building in their correct locations. Add Details : Label Locations: Clearly label each area on the map (e.g., "Basketball Court," "Canteen").Include Small Spaces: Mark any small spaces around buildings that could be used for activities.. Campus Observation: Explore the Campus: Walk around the campus to observe and identify key areas including: Basketball Court Canteen Parking Lot Gate Entrance and Exit Admin Building Main Building Small Spaces

18. Refine the Map: Presentation: Discuss Findings: Present your map to the class, explaining how you identified and documented each area and its possible uses. Adjust for Accuracy: Make sure the map reflects the correct layout and scale. Use the ruler to draw straight lines and accurate boundaries.
