RULES AND REGULATIONS

Innovative value games are powerful and effective ways to foster creative thinking and team synergy, all wrapped up in fun and excitement. Though they are not merely a source of amusement or a break from routine. They are designed to stimulate creativity, encourage problem-solving & decision making and cultivate a collaborative spirit within teams. When inculcated and cultivated effectively, these games can help elevate innate virtues and build a strong character. It further catalyses groundbreaking ideas and innovative solutions that helps both facilitators and learners produce breakthrough results in any areas of their life. Adults and children both learn by doing and not by teaching. The era of pedagogy is almost over. It’s all about experiential learning. Skills like cycling, swimming, and driving are learned by doing, practicing and that learning stays for life. Similarly, when we talk about Baba’s Gyan, the virtues, powers and 16 kalas can be inculcated only by self-learning and practicing in teams. Once we learn by doing that knowledge stays for life in our sub- conscious mind and emerges in our conscious mind as and when we need to apply in our real-life situations. It is our endeavour as team ‘Prabhu Ratna Skill Contest’ for co- creating a pool of BK innovators to show case their skills and talent to design Value games to enhance the learning of our participants of any age and enhance the spiritual growth of all involved at any level.

Participants must note that only Games should be submitted for this context and not activities which generally done during sessions. There is a difference between the two.
Game: a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one. A game is an activity with codified rules, a beginning, an end condition, and a victory condition.
Activity: a thing that a person or group does or has done, a recreational pursuit or pastime.
All games are activities, but not all activities are games.
