Ten original 25-minute starts for making tiny fictional scenes through setting, role, action, attention, turn order and sequence. Children may opt into suitable enactment, direct large paper figures, draw a scene or use AAC/neutral scribing. No child has to speak in role, disclose a life event, touch someone, perform in public, be filmed or accept another child's interpretation of their feelings. Every role and setting in these pages is invented; no story, character, song or cultural style is borrowed.

The exact ACARA v9 / QCAA Prep Drama crosswalk uses AC9ADRFE01, AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01 and AC9ADRFP01. Start with six original A–F scene cards, ten timed educator scripts, 30 switchable same-target routes, 20 worked swaps, 20 life-domain bridges and spoken/quiet prompts. Two new public formative checks G/H have learner sheets and a separate worked key. Six original A4 scene aids with exact text/tactile routes and two check sheets come as SVG/PDF; there is no device or audio requirement.

The common early target is an intentional scene choice and reason. A paper scene, puppet rehearsal or directed adult may show devising, but paper alone does not demonstrate enacted role, voice, movement or actual social participation. If a child shares an enacted mini-scene with a willing person, the educator records that event separately from showing a plan. A pass and a paper route remain valid ways to participate in these opening reasoning activities. An educator checks local space, consent, emotional safety and access before any enactment.

The authentic drama source slot, source/rights ledger and teacher/learner/assessor desk review state what is held.
