One important feature of Parivaar is the participation of both teachers and children in all facets of extra-academic activities. Sports are a regular activity and conducted systematically. During winters, which are locally the cricket season, regular competitive matches are held between Parivaar team and teams from local youth clubs from neighboring areas every week. Parivaar has a proper cricket field and pitches developed by seasoned pitch curators. We also have nets for net practice. Occasionally, night matches under lights also conducted with the whole 800+ strong Parivaar community cheering up and creating an electrifying environment with band and music. In Parivaar team, a mix of our youth Ashramite members and children play. Keeping in tune with the Parivaar ideal of pursuit of excellence in all spheres, systematic practice and coaching is also held for improving the performance.

We have a vast football field and systematic coaching in that game is also provided. Parivaar Ashram has a Volleyball court as well, and on many evenings volleyball is played (again a mix of children and elders). A separate field for girl children and a play-garden comprising swings, slips, see-saws etc is there which is relished mostly by girl children and small children.

Mind-Games and Word-Games like Chess and Scrabble are very popular among the children and post-dinner such games are taken up by many children and elders. Children movies and other inspirational and educative films are shown on weekends. Sports is followed devotedly on television.
