Day 42 · A plan with a spare door
Make an indoor if-plan with two usable choices. Keep a wanted first idea before the later clue.
Complete ordinary first source
Imaginary Lantern Room forecast, issued at breakfast, says rain is possible during the afternoon. Host Pim has two equally acceptable indoor story choices: a rain-picture story if a later note records rain, or a cloud-character story if no rain is recorded in that later view. The later weather note and Pim's actual story choice are not yet supplied. Save any wanted first idea/reason and if-plan, or mark the opportunity declined, before release.
Pick one way
Route 42.1 · Fold-open choice board
Use uncut scrap paper folded by an adult if wanted, or two spoken spaces. Child makes one rain-possible branch and one no-rain-recorded branch for C03. Open the later report and choose which branch fits that source. Do not create a real weather result with water or sound effects.
Say: “Give your plan two ways to work.”
Route 42.2 · Rescue the overconfident host
Read C04 and the new wrong host line “Dry now means dry all afternoon.” Child repairs the host's line, then adds a useful ask/check before a later job. Adult can play the muddled host privately; a public performance is optional.
Say: “Our host said too much. What could they say?”
Route 42.3 · Silent storyboard director
Child directs a helper to draw C03's two indoor job choices in separate frames. Before release, child chooses or leaves a tentative branch. After the complete later note, keep both frames and add the source-supported selection without deleting the first idea.
Say: “Tell your helper which picture goes in each space.”
Tell, sign, AAC, point with confirmed meaning, draw, type or direct a helper. Rest, pass or stop. Your grown-up reads the source without supplying your relation. A later note has a separate release, never an automatic result.
