pick cards · go outside · bring back proof · बाहर जाओ, सीख लाओ
Print once, cut along the borders, keep in an envelope. That is the whole kit — no screen needed.
How to run a quest on paper. 1 · The class picks a subject card (or you pick for them). 2 · A child draws one colour-lens card from a bowl, face down. 3 · Another child draws one skill card. 4 · Read the three cards together out loud: go outside and find… · look at it this way… · then do this… 5 · Go — 20 minutes is plenty. 6 · Back in class, each child writes one honest line in their notebook about what they actually found. That line is the proof. A badge is drawn by the child on their own page, never given by you — and never a score.
