Let the child choose a context, including none of these. Each suggestion has a small at-home version using two blank paper frames, a broad shape and a made-up figure. A family never needs to send a photo, log, personal story or assessment evidence. At school, ask for a child-selected dramatic clue. These bridges do not turn invented safety signs into real signs or a returning mark into a counted Mathematics pattern.

Day Interest bridge A Interest bridge B
31 Book corner: move a pretend figure's large book card from mat to shelf in two drawn frames. Vehicles: a toy bus card stays with its paper driver while the backdrop changes from depot to stop.
32 Art interest: trace one same square tag across easel and display-board mats. Animal-story interest: use an entirely invented paper creature card across two neutral rooms, without a real animal claim.
33 Building interest: turn a broad card as a quiet scene boundary between pretend floor plans. Puppet interest: let a caregiver move only the background while the child directs what stays.
34 Comics: compare one crowded panel with two linked panels and ask what a viewer can tell. Maps: use two large invented locations, showing LATER as a story cue rather than clock practice.
35 Quiet check day: afterwards invent a different story with an art room and cupboard. Tactile check day: afterwards use two textured mats and a new broad shape, not the M source.
36 Space fiction: return a broad square on two different window cards. Games: keep the same invented team flag mark across two paper settings; no real team logo needed.
37 Cooking pretend: a paper figure raises the same large card at counter and table, with no food handling. Gardening pretend: repeat a safe puppet card action in two drawn sheds, not a real plant observation.
38 Design interest: put first and revised panels side by side and ask what changed for the viewer. Family table: a caregiver is a willing reader only if the child asks; a private explanation works too.
39 Theatre interest: draw two stage frames with a new neutral mark and decide a clear boundary. Art interest: choose a school-cleared real work later and ask who made it; do not copy or upload it.
40 After the check, build a fresh toy-harbour two-scene story with a star mark. After the check, use an imaginary book nook with an entirely new returning card action.
