Block 1: Recap + Day 5 plan (5 min)

What to say:

"Today is polish and the demo. First hour: fix any bugs, finish your theme, make it look nice. Second hour: we'll rehearse what you'll say. Third hour: parents come in and you show them your Obby."

Tell them exactly when parents arrive. Settle nerves.

Block 2: Polish + bug fixes (60 min)

Goal: every kid's Obby plays start-to-finish without bugs.

What to say at the start:

"Play your own Obby from start to finish. If anything's broken — a missing checkpoint, a wall in the wrong place, an audio that didn't load — fix it now. If everything works, decorate. Make stage 10 the prettiest one — that's where parents will land at the end."

Watch for and triage:

  1. Broken Teams / checkpoints not respawning correctly. Most common Day-5 bug. Fix: confirm each Team has AutoAssignable unchecked (except Stage 1) and TeamColor matches its SpawnLocation.
  2. Empty stages (kids who didn't finish a stage). It's OK — don't try to finish a missing stage now. Skip it in the rehearsal.
  3. Themes that don't carry through. Encourage 5-min decoration passes on stages 1-3 (the parents will look at those first).
  4. Music/sound that doesn't load. Don't debug. Mute and move on.

Reference: Parent demo prep for the morning checklist.

Block 3: Demo rehearsal (30 min)

Goal: every kid can walk through their Obby in 3-5 minutes while talking.

What to say:

"Now we practice. Stand by your screen and pretend I'm your parent. Walk me through stage 1: 'Here's my first checkpoint, here's my climbing wall, here's the second checkpoint.' Then stage 2. Then stage 3. You don't have to show every stage — pick your favorite 3."

Format:

  • Pair kids up. They take turns being "presenter" and "parent". 10 min each.
  • Coach circulates, listens, gives tiny feedback. Just one note per kid.

Common rehearsal issues:

  • Kids freeze and forget what to say — give them a template: "This is stage N. The obstacle is ___. The hardest part is ___." Three sentences per stage.
  • Kids want to show ALL 10 stages — push them to pick 3 favorites. Quality over quantity. Parents will want to ask questions.

Block 4: Snack + regroup (15 min)

Snacks. Restroom. Calm the nerves. Last reminder of the format.

Block 5: Parents arrive + welcome (10 min)

Coach welcome script (~2 min):

"Thanks for coming. This week your kids built a 10-stage Roblox obstacle course from scratch — checkpoints, custom obstacles, a puzzle room, and for the older kids, some Lua scripting. They'll walk you through their favorite 3 stages. The site lives at creatorshub.app if you want to look at the curriculum afterward."

Then hand it over to the kids.

Block 6: Parent demo (60 min)

Format:

  • Each kid demos at their own screen.
  • Parents rotate every 5-10 min if there are siblings/multiple kids per family.
  • Coach circulates and helps if a kid freezes.

Reference: Parent demo prep for the room setup details.

Coach role during the demo:

  • Be a backup memory: "Tell them about your puzzle room — what's the correct order?"
  • Take photos. Lots of them.
  • Note kids whose parents got pulled away mid-demo — give them a 30-second re-show at the end.

Block 7: Class photo + wrap (final ~5 min)

  • Group photo.
  • One-sentence shoutout per kid: name + one thing they did well this week.
  • Send-off: tell them the site stays live, they can keep building at home.

After parents leave

  • Email parents a thank-you with a link to creatorshub.app/docs/roblox-part1/intro.
  • Note anything to improve for next session.
  • Backup any in-progress Obbies if you can (Studio → File → Save to Roblox, kids' own accounts).
