Imagine you are a child. You enter PE and get in line for DDR, just like every day. You don't even feel as excited as you used to. There are many children and teenagers today who are obese and play video games. Schools are debating whether video games should be introduced into schools as a replacement for regular physical education activities. Video games should not replace regular physical education activities in schools because they would become uninteresting/repetitive and would not meet the minimum standards for recommended daily exercise. Firstly, video games should not be present in physical education because they would become boring and repetitive. There are only a certain number of games the school could purchase. Most of the video games are not active, so this would greatly limit the variety of games, also schools would have to purchase appropriate games and would probably have to send home a document to make sure it is okay with the parents that their children are playing the games video games. What if everything didn't go well with the parents? What other options besides video games would they provide? A school should buy as many games as possible to avoid boredom and repetition, which would happen anyway. Buying the gaming system, mats, televisions and actual games would be very expensive. Playing video games every day would become very repetitive and would not offer long-term enthusiasm and motivation, even for those who are regular video game players. It is not possible for a school to offer a variety of active video games and eliminate the problem of repetition that would make physical education boring. Also think about the first day of playing video games in physical education class. Not everyone plays video games... middle of paper... even more video games try to use them in PE as an excuse to play more video games at home. There is further evidence to support the idea that video games should not replace regular physical education activities. Video games should stay out of PE lessons as they will become boring/uninteresting and repetitive and will also not reach the minimum standard for daily exercise. If regular physical education activities aren't appealing to everyone, and video games aren't appealing to everyone, schools might find an alternative. Schools could conduct numerous surveys on physical activities that would be of interest to the majority of the student population. Then, schools could add new activities or sports, and they could also eliminate any activities or sports that really don't interest anyone. These are the reasons why video games shouldn't be in PE.
