Edutainment and Edu-trips

So, to fine tune this ever-arising difficulty, such movies, plays, music, dance, etc. must be seen and enjoyed to refresh the minds. There are many movies that not only entertain the students but also enrich their knowledge galore. The students learn many things by watching such movies. Listening to music makes their burdensome thought and heavy-heartedness lighter and refreshing. Apart from it, students should be taken to trips—picnic, excursion, outing, etc. for their refreshment. While on Edu-trips, students come to know about many things that pertain to their subjects such as history, geography and science, etc.
