Open it and print it

Open it in the player

1. Go to the player: daxfoundation.org/metadax/play/.
2. Paste your package JSON into “Open your package” and press Play.
3. You get two tabs: For you (the guide) and For the learner (your child’s side, with the game). Read your page first.

The player says it plainly: “Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere.” It works offline once the page has loaded — you can save the player page and drop the JSON into it for a fully offline file.

Print the learner page and the guide key

Press Print this. The printed version is paper-first and in black and white, and it prints two things in order:

• The learner page — the part your child works from. The games become questions with a box to tick and a line to write on. No answers are shown here.
• The guide key — on its own page at the end. It carries the answer to each question and one line of why. As it says: “Keep this page; the learner page above has none of it.”

So you can hand your child their pages and keep the guide key yourself. Every sheet carries the same two lines at the foot: behaviour never diagnoses, and a way, never the way.

The “say it, then find it” item

Some lessons — early reading especially — include a spoken-sound item. You say the prompt aloud; your child taps or circles the one they hear. The page itself speaks nothing. On screen the answer is marked as a preview for you; in print the answer stays off the learner page and sits only in the guide key.

Companion notes (for the guide only)

A package can come with optional companion notes — a small sidecar file. If you have one, open “Companion notes” in the player and paste it in. Only its guide-facing notes are shown, and only on your “For you” tab — never on your child’s side, and never in print. If the notes don’t match the expected shape, the player simply plays the package without them.
