Ten minutes · choice / reflection. You need: One object or page from any earlier play invitation, or a new safe thing the child chooses. The five-week map can help recall ideas, but is optional.
Play: Ask which idea the child wants to revisit. Repeat a small piece, then offer one change: another object, a different place, a new person or a quieter route. The child can keep it exactly as before or invent a new game.
Adult says: “What shall we do again?” “What would you keep?” “What, if anything, should change?” Listen to the answer and follow it.
Child chooses: The idea, materials, pace and whether to explain. “No change” is a complete choice.
Notice: What did they remember or return to? How did they make the plan their own? Ask the child what they noticed, without turning this into a test.
Access and safety: Offer two real objects rather than a long verbal list, or let the child point to a picture. Use home language, signing, AAC, gesture or adult-assisted action. Recheck the chosen activity's safety note. No screen is needed; a local photo may help recall if the family wants it.
