The uniform naming scheme does not imply that the same set of grids were aggregated for each equipment or play area monthly. Scattered blocks”, “Scattered blocks II”, and “Skipping pods” refer to play areas where those portable play equipment were used by the children.The 2-sided cards are divided into 5 categories that describe strategies to focus, calm, think, move, breathe, and connect.
