Two objects (boy/girl, dog/cat etc) are placed at the bottom of each ladder and the pupil guesses who will reach the top of their ladder first. The pupil takes a Braille card from the box. If it is read correctly it can be placed on the ladder for that contraction. Who will be the quickest to get to the top of the ladder (boy/girl, dog/cat)? Did the pupil guess correctly?
