C09 · A rule that names the resting place

Complete source: Original fiction. The paper game’s written rule is “Start at the house. Give one gentle push toward the circle. The job is to rest wholly inside the circle.” An adult follows that action; the card rests wholly inside. No later attempt, score total or different player’s experience is recorded. The circle is a drawing on a level mat.

Own invitation: What does the rule ask the piece to do, and what happened in this try?

Worked possibility and a different next teaching invitation

Source-supported possibility: The rule names start, a gentle directed push and a resting-inside purpose. This supplied try fits that purpose. It does not mean every push counts, every player understands or a future attempt will fit. A new proposed scoring rule is labelled as a proposal.

Unknown/limits: Keep every missing force, path, future attempt, actual child operation and player response within this source’s stated limits. A complete fictional record is source evidence, not performed-investigation evidence.

Full next teaching: Use C17’s boundary-touching card and incomplete boundary rule. Ask the child to separate the position both reporters describe from the unresolved rule decision. Record a supported distinction; do not invent a winner.
