# Ten-place picture-board brief, safe kit and exact practice facts

**Before class:** Check the school's current safety, privacy, access and material policies. Adult prepares any cutting and inspects clean large paper/card; avoid food packaging if cleanliness or allergies are uncertain. For a physical try use an A3-or-larger sheet or other school-approved broad surface, thick marker, ten adult-prepared palm-sized or larger blunt paper picture cards, and a stable clear table. Use no pins, staples, blades, tape, string, magnets, tiny counters, real food or prized personal possessions. The A4 sheets are **plans and prompts**, not a promise that ten safe physical cards fit on A4. If large cards/surface are unavailable, do the full spoken/drawn plan with **NOT TRIED**. A child may pass on touch, direct an adult, sign or use AAC; record what each person physically did.

| Original source | Supplied fictional facts | Evidence limit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [Ten-card brief](print/ten-card-brief.pdf) | A pretend curator has **ten** abstract, full-word-labelled large picture-card ideas: CARD 1 through CARD 10, pictured as a loose unsorted set. User wants to find a place for each once. | The page supplies ten cards; it does not show an actual child counted, placed or viewed them. |
| [Two board proposals](print/board-ideas.pdf) | **ONE LONG ROW** has ten proposed spaces; **TWO ROWS OF FIVE** has ten proposed spaces in two rows. | Both are untested drawing options. The A4 schematic is too small to assume palm-sized cards fit. |
| [Safe make steps](print/safe-board-steps.pdf) | **1 ADULT CHECKS**, **2 MARK TEN PLACES**, **3 PLACE BROAD CARDS**, **4 ASK AND RECORD**. Status: **FIT / OVERLAP / NOT TRIED**, none selected. | A drawn space is not a physical fit result. Adult preparation and child making stay distinct. |
| [Design evidence record](print/design-record.pdf) | Blank user/purpose; two ideas/choice; maker/card result; viewer/next question fields. | A card fitting is not proof a viewer understood where to put another. |
| [Shared-use practice source](print/shared-board-brief.pdf) | One fictional board, ten card ideas, blank **CARD HOME**, and unselected **READY / IN USE** cue. Two pretend users; no real interaction. | A paper cue cannot establish permission or respectful behaviour. |
| [Local familiar source slot](print/local-source-slot.pdf) | Blank approved actual product/service/environment, provenance/permission/date, child-seen designed feature, possible purpose. | Remains blank without a real approved observation. No local cultural source is invented. |

**Optional actual making and trial:** Adult prepares a large blank sheet and ten suitable broad picture cards in advance. Under approval a child may mark ten spaces and place cards one at a time, or direct an adult who makes/places; do not credit child physical making when the adult did it. Record the exact board dimensions/material, handler, and whether each card **FIT**, **OVERLAP** or another observed condition, using **NOT TRIED** if no actual placement. If a willing viewer tries the board, record the person's actual words/actions separately. The child can revise a width, grouping, label or card-home area; test a changed version separately if approved. One physical result cannot be generalised to every table/card/user. In Week 12, use only fictional/shared school materials, ask permission locally for any real borrowing, and never stage a real refusal as a compulsory child assessment.

**Held checks:** Day 55 [Library Return Board](print/check-a-library-returns.pdf) presents a new ten-picture source and asks for two user-focused board ideas without supplying a trial. Day 60 [Shared Art Station](print/check-b-shared-art-station.pdf) presents a new shared-station brief with a blank card home and no real user result. Do not show these before first responses.

**Private teacher record:** child idea and purpose, access/response route, adult content cue, physical maker and card handler, observed fit/overlap status, willing viewer response if any, and revision/next question. Store identified child work only through school procedures.
