01
Mark and test the operating footprint. Mark one camera position away from furniture, doors, cables, queues, tools, food, and the main route through a short drop-in window connected to a summer school break. BubbleMatch comes first because its movement can be tested inside the real footprint while a one-sentence explanation and a visible result remains visible.
02
Rehearse the exact opening moment. In a short drop-in window connected to a summer school break, the host opens with BubbleMatch because heat, mixed ages, and academic schedules affect the break; people decide quickly whether an activity feels approachable. The host uses a one-sentence explanation and a visible result, gives one complete turn, and hands the result back to summer school teachers so the activity can separate focused learning from a short movement moment through give people an easy first turn. The operating angle is a time-boxed round and visible return signal.
03
Assign and rehearse the operator sequence. The host names the first action in one sentence, demonstrates BubbleMatch, invites a voluntary turn, waits for the result, and offers WhackAMole only when the room still supports separate focused learning from a short movement moment through give people an easy first turn. Next: WhackAMole or observe; mark the exit.
04
Brief privacy and contingency choices before opening. In a short drop-in window connected to a summer school break, explain the webcam view before play and keep it separate from attendance, purchase, membership, student, health, or contact records. Do not record or share participant images by default; offer a no-camera or watching role to anyone who does not want to appear. If heat, mixed ages, and academic schedules affect the break; people decide quickly whether an activity feels approachable, pause the station before it interferes with the main purpose of a short drop-in window connected to a summer school break. Switch to WhackAMole or a no-camera explanation, keep the same marked zone, and stop cleanly.
