Awareness / Owl
See it before you start.
Awareness is noticing other people before your own turn feels urgent. A good look changes the plan.
Crew mat chat
Say. Awareness is pointing to the story of the path before we enter it.
Ask. What do you need to see before you move around people?
Look. They look and point before their feet start.

Look, then move
Look, then move means the eyes work before the body does. They notice people, open space, and the landing. The scan is the skill. It is not a balance trick on a high perch.
- 1. Point to the start, the obstacle, and the finish.
- 2. Look left, right, and at the landing.
- 3. Name what they see, then choose a way that fits.
- 4. Move only when the path is clear. A lookout may hold the group with “wait.”
Keep it safe. Scanning is the skill. Do not turn awareness into a balance trick on a high perch.
Training mission
Point to the start, the obstacle, and the finish before moving.
- • Point to three things.
- • Name them.
- • Then move.
Ages 3–5. You point, they copy each point, then you walk together.
Ages 6–8. They notice a fourth thing: where other children are standing.
Take it home
- 1. Before you cross the room, point to the start, a chair, and the doorway.
- 2. Then walk that path.
- 3. Notice one thing you might bump.
