Build a two-action sequence

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• The cards say wave, then point. The paper plan is START, wave, point, STOP. If the task asks for two repeats, the middle becomes wave, point, wave, point. There are four action cards, but still only two action types. A peer can check order using the paper strip without judging how another person’s body moves.
• The cards say wave then point, once. Which strip fits?
• The cards explicitly say point then wave. Which strip fits?
• The cards ask for wave-point twice. Which strip fits?
• One card is blank and no action is specified. What fits?
• A new instruction says reverse the wave-point pair. Which strip fits?
• A new instruction says repeat wave-point two times. Which strip fits?

Learn the idea

A sequence has an order. A two-action movement plan can be represented by two cards, such as a hand wave followed by a point. Changing their order changes the message or pattern.

Read the cards from left to right in this supplied model. Add a start and a stop. Repeating a sequence means returning to its first card, not inventing a new action each time. A partner can check the drawing against the cards.

The complete task may be drawn or spoken. Optional seated actions should be small and comfortable, in an adult-approved clear space. Stop if uncomfortable. A correctly ordered drawing is knowledge evidence, not proof of motor mastery.

1. Read or listen to the pretend story. Point to the details the question gives you.
2. Read the two action cards in order. Draw the requested repeats between START and STOP.
3. Check your answer against the example. Say what matches and what you would change.
4. Try the practice questions, then the extra task. Drawing or spoken answers are welcome.

Take it further

Create a three-action strip: wave, point, rest. Expected: START-wave-point-rest-STOP in that order; explain that drawing is enough.
