Take two steps. Tap your knees. Point to the sky. Freeze with me.
How to run Stage 1
Confirm the observable outcome in child-friendly language and offer a safe fictional option.
2. Build useful language
Choose a few useful chunks for the meaning you need; do not memorise a long script.
Turn around.
Reach up high.
Take two steps.
Freeze and smile.
Change ___ to ___.
How to run Stage 2
Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
3. Practise with support
Use pictures, movement, or short notes while the teacher checks meaning and participation.
- Listen first and move only after the full chunk.
- Tap the strong content words.
- Keep movements small, optional, and suitable for the available space.
How to run Stage 3
Choose only the language chunks this learner needs and model with gesture or pictures.
4. Complete the challenge
Use English to solve, create, choose, or communicate—not just to repeat the model.
Follow an original Engduo action-beat sequence, arrange the chunks in order, then replace one action and lead the group.
How to run Stage 4
Run one short supported rehearsal; keep correction light while meaning is developing.
5. Show what you can do
Complete the task with less support, receive one focused correction, and try the weakest part again.
Perform and lead an eight-beat sequence from audio without a written script.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, listening, pronunciation, or organisation.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Follow an original Engduo action-beat sequence, arrange the chunks in order, then replace one action and lead the group.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Recognise four action chunks and lead a new four-line sequence in a steady rhythm.
Success looks like: The learner follows the full meaning, keeps a workable beat, and pronounces the key action words clearly.
Evidence: mixed · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused prompt at most.
LIST · Listening Comprehension
2: Understands and uses the required spoken evidence accurately.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
PRON · Pronunciation
2: Remains intelligible with useful sounds, stress, rhythm or intonation.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
VR · Vocabulary Resource
2: Uses suitable target vocabulary naturally in an original message.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
Use these scores after the independent attempt. Record one recurring need in the Engduo app when lesson-result fields become available.
How to run Stage 6
Record evidence, give one focused correction, repeat the weakest part, and celebrate the specific improvement.

Teacher guide
30-minute must-do route
- Confirm the observable outcome in child-friendly language and offer a safe fictional option.
- Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
- Choose only the language chunks this learner needs and model with gesture or pictures.
- Run one short supported rehearsal; keep correction light while meaning is developing.
- Run the main task: Follow an original Engduo action-beat sequence, arrange the chunks in order, then replace one action and lead the group.
- Record evidence, give one focused correction, repeat the weakest part, and celebrate the specific improvement.
60-minute extension
- Change two actions while preserving the same number of strong beats.
- Change the picture, role, information, or constraint so the learner transfers the skill rather than reciting.
- Compare the first and second attempt with one simple learner-friendly progress statement.
Make it easier
Use two seated actions and repeat each line twice.
Make it harder
Change two actions while preserving the same number of strong beats.
Likely difficulty
The learner may move after the first verb and miss the rest of the instruction.
Correction priority
Prioritise whole-chunk listening, key-word stress, and safe participation.
Thai support rule
Keep the Thai panel closed unless pictures, gestures, replay, examples, and simpler English do not allow progress. Explain only the key distinction, then return to English.
Progress record
Score LIST, PRON, VR from 0–2 and record one recurring need from: chunk-listening, rhythm, leadership.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a short second attempt. Use fictional alternatives, never require personal disclosure, do not publish learner work or recordings without the organisation’s appropriate consent process, and adapt movement or sensory demands.
