These original cards are public practice, not secure exams or a school achievement grade. Offer large print, exact text/tactile cards, AAC, drawing, broad markers or a neutral child-directed adult. Opt-in physical play requires educator approval and local preparation. A child may pass, return later or choose a paper puppet as audience. Do not film, record voice, demand touch or infer physical competence from a paper-only simulation. Collect the child's first choice before the separate teacher key is opened.

Check A · New G paper window

Use new G sheet, searchable PDF or the exact text/tactile route. This is a new fictional paper room with a near picture at N and far window picture at F. It is not a real site or dance work.

Given score: 1 H → 2 N → 3 N. The designer wants a paper visitor to notice the near picture, then the far window. The current score ends near. No visitor response is shown.

  1. Show or tell one thing the given three cards show.
  2. Change one numbered place so the far window comes after the near picture. Keep three counts. Point to the changed count.
  3. Tell, point or draw what a paper visitor might notice and which card gives your clue. You may share your idea with a willing educator or paper puppet.

The educator can ask what the child chose, but must not lead the new place. The check looks for an idea with count evidence; it does not judge bodily movement.

Check B · New H two panels

Use new H sheet, searchable PDF or the exact text/tactile route. This is a different invented tabletop visitor-centre model with a far panel F and left panel L. No real location or community is represented.

Given six cards: 1 H, 2 F, 3 H / 4 H, 5 F, 6 H. The two three-card parts are the same. The designer wants a paper visitor to notice the far panel and then the left panel. No actual audience response is shown.

  1. Are the two parts the same or different? Point to cards 2 and 5.
  2. Keep the first three cards. Change one place in the second part so it can point towards the left panel. Keep all six counts and point to the changed card.
  3. Share or describe the new idea to a willing educator or paper puppet, or mark that you want to share it later. Say/show which two panel places might be noticed.

A paper score can show the child's pattern choice and communication idea. It cannot show physical dance technique or whether a visitor truly noticed a panel.
