Printable session plan · Malls and Public Spaces
A practical, time-bounded plan for public market operators in a weekend market. Use it to rehearse one clear activity without improvising the room, camera, or participation rules.
The practical question is how to add a family-friendly feature between stalls when vendors compete for attention and the central program needs to complement rather than obstruct them.
This is a run-of-show companion to the broader Public Market Family Games use-case guide. Its purpose is narrower: help the operator or host run one thoughtful session with a defined start, a clear option to pause, and a prepared fallback.
Visible body control lowers explanation time. A marked zone and large score let passersby understand the experience while preserving a clear boundary around the player.
01
Mark and test the operating footprint. Mark a compact zone clear of vendor stalls, food service, trolley routes, loading access, queues, and accessible circulation. LaserEyes leads because its low-movement footprint can remain visible without pulling the market across a busy aisle.
02
Rehearse the exact opening moment. In the weekend market, the family host starts with LaserEyes because vendors compete for attention and the central program needs to complement rather than obstruct them. The host demonstrates head-position aiming, runs one bounded turn, and hands the station to the next participant so the program can add a family-friendly feature between stalls.
03
Assign and rehearse the operator sequence. The market activity host checks the camera mark, explains LaserEyes in one sentence, invites one voluntary turn, resets the result, and offers BubbleMatch only when the flow between stalls can support a slightly longer interaction.
04
Brief privacy and contingency choices before opening. Post clear camera-use language and keep play separate from vendor sales, mailing lists, and market photography. Ask before participation and do not save or share participant images by default. Close the station whenever queues, deliveries, or weather push people into the marked zone. A host demonstration is preferable to obstructing a stall; otherwise move from LaserEyes to BubbleMatch without expanding the footprint.
Decision standard: The format can add a family-friendly feature between stalls without interfering with the main purpose of a weekend market.
The first choice for a weekend market should leave room for conversation, late arrivals, and a clean handoff. Use these games as a short test against vendors compete for attention and the central program needs to complement rather than obstruct them
head-position aiming
Laser Eyes is included for Public Market Family Games because it uses head-position aiming in seated or standing space with low movement.
Play fit: quiet, contained participation when floor travel is unsuitable For public market family games, plan for seated or standing space with low movement.
two-hand pointing and color matching
Bubble Match is included for Public Market Family Games because it uses two-hand pointing and color matching in compact standing space with light movement.
Play fit: short, forgiving turns for mixed-experience groups For public market family games, plan for compact standing space with light movement.
full-body directional dodging
Quick Dodge is included for Public Market Family Games because it uses full-body directional dodging in medium clear space with moderate-to-high movement.
Play fit: brief high-attention challenges for confident movers For public market family games, plan for medium clear space with moderate-to-high movement.
Later choices: Reaction. For Public market operators in the weekend market, offer LaserEyes first to anyone choosing a lower-movement or seated role: its head-position aiming uses seated or standing space with low movement. Also provide spectator, scorekeeper, and no-camera roles.
Mark a compact zone clear of vendor stalls, food service, trolley routes, loading access, queues, and accessible circulation. LaserEyes leads because its low-movement footprint can remain visible without pulling the market across a busy aisle. Test camera framing and backlight from that exact zone before the first LaserEyes turn.

Everyone has the right to opt out, choose an observer role, or stop the activity without having to explain or justify that choice.

Use the plan for public market operators to make a weekend market easier to host, not to make a health claim. If someone has a health or mobility concern, invite qualified professional advice and offer a genuine way to pause or observe.
The WHO Guidelines can frame the wider movement conversation; this plan still needs to follow the privacy, access, and supervision rules that apply to public market operators. WHO Guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour.
