Teacher gate: Select or approve a local classroom purpose and source before teaching as a real familiar example. The printed puppet and page stories are fictional. Check local curriculum, safety, access, paper size and supervision. Never infer real user preference, a school's help route or material performance from the cards. Children can participate without family information or physical handling.
No-purchase kit: ordinary A4/reused broad paper, one large adult-prepared neutral page, thick pencil if useful, and clear tabletop set well away from its edge. Use flat hands for broad folds. Adults pre-cut any large cards; children do not use scissors, pins, staples, tape, blades, heat, electricity, string, tiny parts, food or water. If a material/turn/slide is unsafe or uncomfortable, stop and use the plan-only route with NOT TRIED. For actual tabletop movement, an adult remains near enough to prevent paper leaving the table. No home trial is required.
| Source | Exact invented prompt | Observation boundary |
|---|---|---|
| A · Page-help ideas | A large blank paper page and TOP TAB IDEA versus SIDE TAB IDEA, each a proposed broad fold. A fictional puppet says “I want to find the page edge and turn one page.” | Neither fold has been made/tested by this sheet; it says nothing about what a real reader prefers. |
| B · Help-service choice | The fictional sequence ASK FIRST → YES / NO THANKS → HELP OR STEP BACK using paper cards. It describes a person's proposed service choice, not a real school procedure. | HASS/HPE help and consent outcomes require their own lessons/evidence. No actual person has responded. |
| C · Table page space | A large PAGE SPACE, a broad CLEAR EDGE and a PENCIL SPACE on a paper table drawing. A designer could move the pencil-space mark to make room for turning. | No actual room or accessibility assessment; real layout needs educator approval/observation. |
| D · Safe page turn | Four safe steps: 1 FOLD BROAD TAB, 2 PLACE PAGE, 3 LIFT EDGE, 4 TURN ONE PAGE. Result boxes TURNED / SLIPPED / NOT TRIED are unselected. | Actual making/turning and outcome need a real, approved material try. Adult-only action is distinct from child physical handling. |
| E · Idea/action/evidence mat | PURPOSE, TWO IDEAS/CHOICE, REAL ACTION/RESULT OR NOT TRIED, NEXT CHANGE. | A plan is not a trial. Keep adult prompts separate. |
| F · School real-source slot | Blank approved familiar product/service/environment, source/date, child-seen feature and purpose fields. | Leave blank if no reviewed local source; no invented school or cultural details. |
Fresh held sources: Check A Paper Puppet Request Board uses two distinct fictional message panels, PLEASE POINT and I WILL LOOK FIRST, with a brief to show one message at a time to a pretend paper puppet. No real person is asked and no board is made unless an educator later chooses a separate trial. Check B Paper Stop Gate uses a large flat paper rectangle marker, a broad blank paper sheet and a printed START → END route on a clear tabletop. The child designs a broad fold intended to stop the marker before END in one short slow slide, then records STOPPED / CROSSED / NOT TRIED from an actual approved try only. Neither held outcome is prefilled. Do not rehearse these exact source labels/criteria in daily routine work before first responses.
Evidence record: note the child's idea, reason, chosen response route, adult content cues, who actually folded/turned/slid, what happened, and a next step. A child-directed adult move is a meaningful access route but is not silently treated as independent physical material handling. A plan-only child has a complete thinking task and a truthful unobserved making field. Store any real learner observations privately under school policy.
