# Twenty optional interest/home bridges

Each bridge is an **offer**, not homework, family disclosure or evidence of access to objects/devices. The teacher can run it entirely with paper in class. Ask what the child wants to make rather than guessing an identity, interest or learning style. Do not ask families to play candidate audio before the human listening gate.

| Day | Optional bridge 1 | Optional bridge 2 |
| ---: | --- | --- |
| 121 | Let a child invent four marks for a picture book they draw; count only spaces between marks. | Use four plain paper squares if no story hook is wanted; child chooses three spacer cards. |
| 122 | A class library card can hold four equal-tone event dots and M–M–M. | A child interested in space may put the same four dots below invented planet icons, keeping actual astronomy claims out. |
| 123 | Put L–M–S under a fictional garden page sequence, with no real plant timing claim. | Make a purely geometric strip of four circles that gather to the right. |
| 124 | Spread four paper stars with S–M–L gaps; ask what the child notices in the *music plan*. | Use four blank boxes so no visual story distracts from the gap comparison. |
| 125 | Offer no contextual hint before the check; child chooses large text or raised pieces. | After first response, use an unrelated pattern from the worked swaps for play. |
| 126 | Let a child place music gaps beside the paper visitor in Week 26 only as an invented soundtrack. | Choose a plain score if movement imagery is unwanted; it carries the same target. |
| 127 | Invite a child to mark “not tested” proudly when no playback took place. | A willing adult may later read a score; keep maker and listener fields separate. |
| 128 | Child can choose a fictional hobby image for both versions while event identity remains fixed. | Two abstract colour bands can replace any named story or home setting. |
| 129 | Offer a one-to-one reader at school instead of a family audience. | A child may keep both tracks private and still have a valid compositional plan. |
| 130 | Do the check with no theme or optional paper-book icons; exact target is unchanged. | After saving first response, invite a new self-chosen base for playful variation. |
