Learning isn’t just about what’s learned in the classroom; it’s also about having fun! Engaging in various activities boosts students’ motivation while allowing them to decompress, collaborate and have fun. In light of this, the Department of Computer Science organized enjoyable event for BCA and PGDCA students. This activity was conducted which was comprised of various fun games. Students have actively participated in all the games.

The first game was “Passing the Ball”. This was unique team building activity for the entire group of students. Two teams were formed with equal number of students in each team and were standing in queues parallel to each other. Each team handed over a ball. Both teams have to pass the ball from one person to other within their team in queue order. Team reaches the winning point first wins the race. Passing a ball teaches the students about sharing, playing together and being inclusive.

The second game was “English-Vinglish” in which the students had to form a circle. They were supposed to count the numbers starting from 1. The twist in the game was, the number should be pronounced alternately in English and Hindi. The student who makes mistake will be out. Students need to concentrate on playing this game wisely.

The third game was “The Number Game”. This game was a perfect icebreaking activity to energize the students and fill the room with smiles. In this game, various groups were created, each with ten players. The pupils were given the numbers 0 to 9, and they were to arrange them using the provided numbers. The team which was arranged first was the winning team.

Last game was “Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes and Cup” in which the students face each other forming two vertical lines and the leader calls out parts of the body like Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes etc. randomly. When a part of the body is called the participants must touch that part with both hands. As soon as the leader calls out the word Cup, the player has to pick the cup up. The player that picks up the cup wins, the player without the cup is eliminated.

This event was appreciated and enjoyed by all the students. All the teachers of Computer Science Department have worked hard towards the planning and execution of the event. The program ended up with a gratitude and encouraging message by HOD, Mrs. Pooja Rathi.

"Friendship is not about whom you have known the longest. It's about who came, and never left your side.” Every year, we celebrate Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August. This year, it had been observed on August 6th, but as that day was Sunday, so we celebrated it on Saturday, August 5th, 2023. Various games, fun and rejoicing activities had been planned by Department of Computer Science. All of the activities have witnessed active student participation. The primary goal of this program was to boost the teacher-student relationship. Interaction of the students among them self was another objective of the program.

The first game was "Balloon game" in which all the students of BCA-I and BCA-II were involved and total four groups were formed with 6 members each. Each group was allotted a balloon. In this game, students had to blew balloons with their mouth. The team who keeps the balloon in air longer was a winning team.

In Second game, the student must form a stacked pyramid of at least 6 cups. This is achieved with the balloon in their mouth; whilst in their mouth they put the balloon in the cup and inflate the balloon to secure the cup. Then they move the cup over to their target place and put it on the table by deflating the balloon.

The next activity was making of a Friendship Band. We're looking for craft lovers and aspiring artists to exhibit their skills by creating the most extraordinary and endearing friendship bands. This is all about celebrating the spirit of friendship through artistry. Creating small cards describing "What is friendship?" was the next task. It was a creative and enjoyable activity.

All of the attendees praised the program and had a great time together. The faculty members of the computer department worked together to plan this event, which was greatly aided by their efforts. The culmination of the program was marked by a heartfelt expression of gratitude extended by the Head of the Department, Mrs. Pooja Rathi. Her words resonated with the sentiment of appreciation for the active involvement and enthusiasm displayed by all participants and teacher.
