Choose how to respond: speak, sign, use AAC, point, draw, move, make or direct an adult as the task allows. You can ask for a quiet/private route. Nobody needs to tell us about their home, body, identity or personal experiences. The original print mat and complete text route are optional. Your teacher will tell you whether a card uses real observation, an invented model or a plan only. Keep that label with your work.
Day 11 — Ask, hear, accept
Pretend scene: Teo asks to borrow Luz's paper marker. Luz says ‘not now’. What respectful reply can Teo give? What if Luz said yes earlier and then changed their mind?
Choose a route: Adult-read role cards; AAC choices; paper puppets instead of personal role-play.
Show: Give one respectful sentence for each response, including a changed mind.
Home/low-material: Use two paper circles as roles; no personal disclosure.
Day 12 — A choice for more people
A made-up club offers only a loud, fast relay. Invent two optional roles or ways to join. How can you ask someone what they prefer without guessing their needs?
Choose a route: Role tokens; spoken plan; drawn option menu.
Show: Explain how giving choices could support inclusion while keeping participation voluntary.
Home/low-material: Draw an optional club menu on paper.
Day 13 — Two feelings, one event
Two people are invited to a new puzzle route. Name two different feelings they might have. Choose a safe strategy for someone who wants a pause or more information.
Choose a route: Emoji-free word cards; body-neutral AAC choices; drawing or private speech.
Show: Use ‘might’ in both feeling statements and rehearse one strategy.
Home/low-material: Point to one of three paper strategy cards.
Day 14 — Help route, no secrets
Pretend online message: ‘Send your school password to play.’ Choose your next steps without saying any real password. Who is an approved helper in your school?
Choose a route: Picture sequence; AAC ‘stop/help’ cards; teacher-read scenario.
Show: State or choose the safe action and one helper; never recite a real credential.
Home/low-material: Tell a caregiver ‘I would stop and ask you’ about the pretend message.
Day 15 — Who wants this message believed?
Invented poster: ‘Only the fastest breaks count! Join the Swift Club.’ What does it want you to believe or do? Which word needs checking? Write a fairer message.
Choose a route: Circle words; adult reads; draw a revised poster caption.
Show: Explain why ‘only’ needs questioning and name a source a school would check for real activity guidance.
Home/low-material: Discuss a pretend club message; no personal activity totals requested.
Day 16 — Move a line in a safe space
Choose a school-approved safe way to move. Try a straight path and a curved path with a stop cue if safe. If you only use a paper token, label the work PLAN.
Choose a route: Choose bodily mode with staff; visual stop card; tactile path; no need for speed.
Show: Describe or point to the actual direction/tempo change and whether it was tried.
Home/low-material: Use a small hand-motion route if safe, or just plan with a token.
Day 17 — A path around a barrier
A paper barrier is on a pretend route. Draw two possible ways around it, then try one in an approved safe movement mode if available. What changed after feedback?
Choose a route: Large arrow cards; tabletop planning; actual hand, chair or walking route as approved.
Show: State the strategy chosen and one observed reason for the change.
Home/low-material: Use a finger route on paper as a plan; movement evidence requires an agreed real try.
Day 18 — A fair turn rule
In a pretend target game, one person has had three turns and another none. Make a fair turn-and-pause rule. With willing people, try it using soft paper tokens; otherwise label your rule PLAN.
Choose a route: Token placement in reach; observer with AAC; noncompetitive two-person option.
Show: Explain the rule, whether it was applied, and one adjustment after the trial.
Home/low-material: Use paper tokens with a willing caregiver, or plan alone without claiming collaboration.
Day 19 — Make a movement phrase
Make a safe three-action phrase using start, curve and pause. Try it in an approved movement mode if available, then change one timing or direction choice. What did you observe?
Choose a route: Seated upper-body phrase; gentle wheeled movement; hand motion; large visual arrows.
Show: Show the revised phrase or describe what changed; record actual versus planned.
Home/low-material: Try a small safe motion or plan with paper only.
Day 20 — New route, shared decision
Fresh route: two starts, one wide finish and a keep-clear zone. With a willing partner and approval, choose roles, a fair rule and a movement path. Report only what actually happened; otherwise label PLAN.
Choose a route: Private partner or teacher trial; AAC role choices; seated or hand movement; tabletop plan if needed.
Show: Report route, rule, actual action, partner feedback and an evidence boundary.
Home/low-material: Plan with paper; a real movement/partner outcome needs a safe consenting trial.
