Thirty switchable routes to the same daily devising questionFoundation Drama · T1 W7–8 · Learner Cards

Offer a route that works today and let a child switch. These are not fixed learning styles or diagnosis groups. Each route lets the child choose a scene shift, continuity clue or return and explain an intended viewer idea. A physical enactment is optional; paper, tactile and directed-adult routes can evidence devising, while child performance and actual audience sharing remain separately observed. Keep first response and exact support. A child may pass.

Day Safe optional enacted / physical route Large print, tactile or no-print route AAC, gaze or child-directed route
31 Move A and the same broad square card between two clear floor/table stage mats, adding a LATER tag. Trace raised DESK/SHELF boundaries; place the same physical token in two frames and identify the changed place. Choose NOW/LATER and the changed setting on AAC; direct an adult to move only the named broad pieces.
32 Use a puppet A in two approved table spaces and deliberately keep its square card visible. Match two large A/card cards by touch/name; replace only the raised desk edge with a shelf edge. Eye-gaze or select SAME FIGURE / CHANGED PLACE; adult states the child's selected anchor and checks.
33 Pause a safe tabletop puppet, clear the old setting, then place the second; no blackout or rush. Order HOLD/CLEAR/PLACE broad textured cards and turn a paper page to signal the boundary. AAC chooses one boundary method and commands each adult move; child indicates when scene two begins.
34 Put A/card first at a desk, then at a shelf in two short consenting puppet moments. Compare one large continuous drawing with two separated raised frames; mark a personal boundary on G. Select a layout by gaze/word/AAC and dictate a reason about what a viewer can distinguish.
35 Arrange fresh P/striped-token pieces across two mats before any feedback; optional short enactment after planning. Use fresh M exact word/tactile source, raised NOW/LATER labels and broad first/second bays. Direct a neutral adult to place P, token, changed setting and scene boundary; save first unprompted choices.
36 Move one oversized square mark with A from desk to shelf, leaving a clear gap between scenes. Trace same raised square in both original E panels and position identical broad physical marks. AAC or gaze links the two marks; child selects what connection the mark could suggest.
37 If invited, repeat one comfortable card-raising action in two safe table spaces with no compelled speech. Move a hinged broad paper arm/card in two textured settings and locate the changed clue. Direct an adult puppet to repeat the action; choose a possible reading or CANNOT TELL without emotion labels.
38 Perform a very short approved table version twice, changing only where the mark is placed in scene two. Keep first and revised large tactile/paper frames side by side; move a broad mark to a new location. AAC directs exact first/revised placements and says what a viewer might notice; actual sharing remains optional.
39 Devise in an approved puppet space and choose whether to share with a consenting person. Make two raised scene frames with new figure/mark, scene boundary and blank real-event fields. Direct an adult or AAC system to arrange original moments; real-work response only after an authorised encounter.
40 Arrange fresh R/ring/setting cards, then optionally enact a brief approved version after first response. Use N exact word/tactile route and two large raised frames, keeping the returning ring distinct. Gaze/AAC directs a neutral adult to set both scenes and names one intended viewer clue before feedback.

Home access: Every day can remain at school. A family may spend two minutes with two blank paper frames and a made-up broad mark if interested; no home observation, performance, recording, purchase or caregiver report is required for a child to take part.
