# Give somebody a useful start

What should your guide help somebody do first? It can stay private. If somebody agrees to reply, keep their own words. If nobody is asked, we can keep that honest.

1. Choose one way to take part. One useful part is enough.
2. Keep your own idea before an example. A helper can read or record your exact words.
3. You can keep it private, pause, finish or return.

## Choose a way

### 1

Draw a guide for how to start and get ready again. You can keep it private.

### 2

Tell a willing person your exact start instructions. Keep their words if they reply.

### 3

Ask an adult to check one local feature. Keep drawing your own pretend workspace. You do not need to search the web or go out.

[Complete teacher plan](../teacher/day-189.html) · [Home offer](../home/H09.html) · [Larger activity](../projects/X09.html). Offer the actual locally suitable drawing/message opportunity and name actors. Ordinary stories are fiction; help starts after first own capture. Held checks require actual prior teaching/exposure review; public criteria are separate. Use [C17](../contexts/C17.html)/[C18](../contexts/C18.html) only as ordinary practice.
