Board Setup

Practical Steps:

Mark the correct board height using a measuring stick and spirit level.

Use iDSL OCHE STICKES or alternatives to mark oche line precisely on the floor.

Set up safety mats or barriers behind the board.

Check lighting — avoid shadows over the board.


Implementation Strategies:

Create a board setup checklist for students to complete in pairs.

Run a “board safety audit” game where students inspect and rate the setup.

Use a spirit level and laser measurer where possible for accuracy.

Rotate board setup responsibilities among students weekly to reinforce learning.
