Day127 · Choose an outdoor play opportunity, or another settingFoundation HPE · T3 W25–26 · Teacher · Teacher / Day 127

Child invitation: Where would this little game fit? What do you notice there?

Purpose: Participate in a suitable natural/outdoor physical activity when available and explore a personally relevant benefit; distinguish a picture, indoor game and actual outdoor experience.

Partial curriculum links: AC9HPFM03, AC9HPFM02, AC9HPFP06.

Before the child clock: An educator-reviewed familiar natural/outdoor setting only if appropriate now; indoor alternative, usual communication and current local supervision/weather/sun/space arrangements. Read preparation and actual evidence boundaries.

1. Start ·3minutes: Where would this little game fit? What do you notice there? Offer one choice at a time; establish the known pause/help/finish cue and one useful purpose.
2. Teach/model ·4minutes: If the outdoor route is genuinely approved, the educator models one suitable familiar nearby movement, names the actual setting and asks an open question about what the activity offers. If not, use an honest invented park picture and an indoor game. Do not label indoor/picture work outdoor participation.
3. Guide ·5minutes: Preview the known pause/help/finish cues and a short suitable game before the setting is used. Ask what makes the location suitable for this task, using current actual adult information. No excursion, collecting plants/litter, handling wildlife, approaching water, endurance goal or promised emotional effect.
4. Own contribution ·7minutes: Offer one small actual suitable outdoor opportunity if wanted and approved, or a different appropriate indoor action/directing/story route. The child may notice a benefit such as enjoyable chosen play, a chance to practise a skill or being with a willing person; their own view may differ or remain untold.
5. Notice ·4minutes: Record actual setting/activity/actor/support and any learner-stated benefit separately. A park drawing or planned visit supplies no actual outdoor participation; an adult’s prediction does not supply the learner’s experience. No required before/after mood statement.
6. Finish ·2minutes: If a picture is treated as an actual visit, model an unrelated imaginary garden plan versus an actual schoolyard account. If a benefit is only an adult guess, offer a later neutral question about an actual chosen activity, without demanding a positive answer. Invite keep/change/finish. No speed, turn quota, positive feeling or complete worksheet criterion. Split/stop as useful; times are planning estimates.

Three purposeful choices

• Choose one small suitable actual outdoor activity after your grown-up’s current check.
• Use a suitable indoor game and say honestly which setting was used.
• Make a natural-place game story or direct an adult; keep actual outdoor opportunity open.
