These are optional worked examples after the child’s main choice. Each arrow states what changes while holding the same target. Fictional place names add variety without claiming a real site, maker or cultural story. Day 25/30 swaps are After Check only.
| Day | Worked swap 1 | Worked swap 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | Imaginary bus-stop card: START CIRCLE MIDDLE; A CIRCLE LEFT / B CIRCLE RIGHT → change B to TOP while A stays LEFT; endings remain distinguishable. | Paper game fork: START SQUARE MIDDLE; A SQUARE TOP / B SQUARE BOTTOM → move A to LEFT, B holds BOTTOM; two possible ends, not sequential steps. |
| 22 | Fictional bookshelf choice: sign SQUARE→LEFT, CIRCLE→RIGHT → move both labelled ending cards to opposite table sides; sign–ending pairs stay intact. | Paper food-stall board: sign TRIANGLE→TOP, STAR→BOTTOM → replace STAR sign with a distinct CIRCLE sign and keep its BOTTOM ending. |
| 23 | Imagined ticket board: both endings covered → select SQUARE and reveal its LEFT ending only; CIRCLE path stays hidden. | Paper treasure game: both endings covered → select CIRCLE and reveal RIGHT only; reset covers before SQUARE choice. |
| 24 | Fictional map: ENDING shown before START → put START first, both endings covered, then CHOOSE and one reveal. | Homemade notice: both endings visible at choice time → cover both, show START, choose, reveal one; other stays covered. |
| 25 | After Check: invented square fork START MIDDLE / A TOP / B TOP → keep A TOP and move B BOTTOM; source differs from I. | After Check: paper circle route START TOP / A LEFT / B LEFT → hold B LEFT and move A RIGHT; no triangle source. |
| 26 | Fictional garden card: plan with START SQUARE and A TOP/B BOTTOM → attach two large selectable ending cards to make an operable paper work. | Imaginary library card: spoken idea START CIRCLE with A LEFT/B RIGHT → child directs adult to assemble labelled loose-card board; authorship recorded. |
| 27 | Adult-made board predicts SQUARE sign→LEFT but shows RIGHT → log mismatch, replace only that ending, retest A and B. | Child board predicts CIRCLE sign→BOTTOM but cover will not lift → mark assembly needs work, adult repairs neutral hinge, retest; do not claim success early. |
| 28 | Two identical dot signs cause ambiguity → change one to broad SQUARE, keep endings fixed, test both paths. | Fictional paper kiosk: two colour-only labels → add distinct raised TRIANGLE and CIRCLE outlines, preserve outcomes. |
| 29 | Original work shown to a willing educator who selects A → record actual A and visible end; do not invent what they understood. | Child chooses puppet rehearsal instead of viewer → record rehearsal only; offer willing-person sharing later if child chooses. |
| 30 | After Check: invented square/diamond signs both lead to DIAMOND → change SQUARE path ending to SQUARE; no J shapes pair. | After Check: paper LEFT/RIGHT signs both lead RIGHT → change LEFT path ending to LEFT while RIGHT holds; different symbol system. |
