Help children practise the few seconds between an impulse and an action—without turning the session into a behaviour test.
HOW IT WORKS
PAUSE — Catch the moment
Read a Situation Card, place a Pause Token and name a body clue, feeling or urge.
PICK — Find two possible moves
Choose two Response Cards or invent your own. Consider what might happen immediately and what might happen later.
PLAY — Try one out
Role-play the response for 10–20 seconds, then use a What Happens Next? Card to explore the outcome.
REPLAY — Change the move
If the first choice did not help, try another. A replay still counts as progress.
