## Five flexible weeks

The [A4 week map](five-week-map.svg) has five horizontal rows. Each row has a
week label on the left and four small numbered boxes on the right. The boxes
are invitations, not tasks to tick off. The page says, “Choose any day.
Repeat, change or rest. There is no catch-up.”

1. **Week 1, Start nearby:** 01 Sock detectives; 02 Cup builders; 03 Window
   watcher; 04 Doorway path.
2. **Week 2, Routine play:** 05 Table helper; 06 Container match; 07 Mystery
   object; 08 Sound or quiet map.
3. **Week 3, Outside world:** 09 Fallen leaf studio; 10 Cloud story; 11 What
   changed?; 12 Tiny route map.
4. **Week 4, Make and test:** 13 Paper slider; 14 Window collage; 15 Ramp
   roll; 16 Pattern maker.
5. **Week 5, Choose again:** 17 Toy parking; 18 Describe and find; 19 Mirror
   moves; 20 Pick, repeat, change.

The closing line says, “One card can be enough for a week. Follow the child's
interest.” The [README table](README.md#a-five-week-path-that-fits-real-life)
links to the full source cards. Nothing on the map records attendance,
achievement or progress.

## How shall we play?

The [A4 play-mode sheet](play-mode-cards.svg) has six cut-out cards in two
columns and three rows. Each card has a large line drawing and a label:

1. **Look:** an outlined eye with a round pupil. The child may watch or
   direct another person to show something.
2. **Talk:** a speech bubble with three dots. Talking also includes signed
   language, AAC, gesture, home language and an adult speaking at the child's
   direction.
3. **Touch:** an open palm with five short fingers. Offer safe real objects;
   do not require a child to touch an unwanted material.
4. **Move:** a winding route ending in an arrow. Movement can be a finger,
   toy, gaze, body or adult-assisted motion.
5. **Make:** three large blocks arranged as a small build. Making can mean
   choosing and directing placement, not only handling objects.
6. **My idea:** an open circle with a small question mark. The child can
   propose a different way or no planned activity.

The instruction says, “Point, sign, say, touch a real object, or show your
own idea.” These cards offer choice, not fixed “learning styles.” A child
can combine modes or change their mind. An adult can put a matching real
object beside each card for a tactile choice.
