Target/codes: distinguish a box hidden behind a broad paper screen from the same box visibly revealed; AC9ADRFD01, AC9ADRFC01. Prepare: B screen/reveal, large opaque card, B practice.
- Welcome · 3 min. Show a broad fixed screen and closed square box; hiding here is fictional stage business, never a real child's belongings.
- Model · 4 min. Put the box behind the screen, then move screen aside. Keep figure, workbench and box position fixed. Name what the audience could see in each picture.
- Try together · 5 min. Let child direct the screen between hidden and visible positions; educator moves it neutrally if needed.
- Child choice · 7 min. Child chooses when to reveal the box in a two-frame plan, with optional safe enactment or directed puppet. State a possible question raised by hiding it.
- Notice · 4 min. Check whether screen physically covers the box in frame one and uncovers it in frame two; do not infer suspense felt by viewers.
- Close · 2 min. Save the child's reveal decision; tomorrow compare a small clue with a full view.
