Prompt style: Direct prompting

Prompt:
Create a rotation schedule for Vacation Bible School. We have the kids from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., Monday through Thursday. There are groups for rising kindergarten through rising 6th grade. Everyone is together for the opening session and the closing session each day. The opening session is 40 minutes and the closing session is 25 minutes.
Between opening and closing, build a rotating schedule of these stations: art, science, Bible story time, recess and snack, music, and a missions/service activity. Each of these activities should be the same length of time, and no activity block should be shorter than 25 minutes. Each group must visit each activity once per day, and only one group per activity at a time. The order of activities for a given group should not be the same on any two days.
Group sizes may not divide evenly across stations. If the groups do not divide evenly, first combine rising 5th and 6th grade into one group. If there are still too many groups, then also combine rising 3rd and 4th grade into one group.
We have two buildings. Building A will host opening session, closing session, science, Bible story time, and art. Building B will host recess and snack, music, and the missions/service activity. Whenever a rotation requires a group to move from an activity in one building to an activity in the other building, include a 10-minute transition block between those two activities. Keep the overall schedule as efficient as possible.
If the total time from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. is not enough to fit the required activity blocks and building-switch transitions while keeping each activity at least 25 minutes, shorten the opening and closing sessions in equal 5-minute increments as needed.
Create the schedule for each day (Monday through Thursday) and for each group, show a table with time blocks and activities. No commentary or explanation outside the tables, only headings and the tables themselves.

Evaluation criteria:
The response should create separate schedule tables for each of the four days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
The response should cover the period from 8:30 am to 12:15 pm each day (Monday-Thursday).
The response should not include any content other than the tables containing the schedules and headers for each.
The response should schedule the first listed time block in each day's table for either a 40-minute opening session, or a session that is reduced by 5 minute increments if the time is insufficient. For example, the opening session could be 40 minutes, 35 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.
The response should schedule all groups (kindergarten through 6th grade) at the opening session for each day of the schedule.
The response should schedule all groups (kindergarten through 6th grade) at the closing session for each day of the schedule.
The response should schedule the final listed time block in each day's table for either a 25-minute closing session, or a session that is reduced by 5 minute increments if the time is insufficient. For example, the closing session could be 25 minutes, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.
The response should schedule a transition period whenever a rotation requires a group to move from an activity in one building to an activity in the other building, where Building A hosts the opening session, closing session, science, Bible story time, and art, and Building B hosts recess, snack, music, and the missions/service activity.
The response should schedule every block labeled as a transition time block to be exactly 10 minutes long.
The response should include all six of these structured activities in the rotating part of each day’s schedule, from Monday through Thursday: Art, Music, Bible Story Time, Recess and Snack, Science, and Missions or Missions/Service.
The response should schedule each structured activity time block (Art, Music, Bible Story Time, Recess and Snack, Science, and Missions or Missions/Service) to be at least 25 minutes long.
The response should schedule all structured activity time blocks for each day to be the same duration, where structured activity time blocks include Art, Music, Science, Bible Story Time, Recess and Snack, and Missions or Missions/Service.
The response should represent the student groups in the schedule as Kindergarten (or rising Kindergarten), 1st (or rising 1st grade), 2nd (or rising 2nd grade), 3rd (or rising 3rd grade), 4th (or rising 4th grade), 5th (or rising 5th), and 6th (rising 6th grade group), where it is also acceptable to combine 5th and 6th grades together, and 3rd and 4th grades together.
The response should combine rising 5th and 6th grade into a single group.
The response should not combine rising 3rd and 4th into a single group, since the groups can be divided evenly by combining 5th and 6th grades.
The response should schedule each age group to attend each of the structured activities (Art, Music, Bible Story Time, Recess and Snack, Science, and Missions or Missions/Service) once each day.
The response should not schedule two different groups in the same structured activity (Art, Music, Bible Story Time, Recess and Snack, Science, and Missions or Missions/Service) at the same time.
The response should list the following activities in building A: Opening Session, Closing Session, Art, Science, and Bible Story Time.
The response should list the following activities in building B: Recess and Snack, Music, and Missions (Missions/Service).
The response should not give any age group the same ordered sequence of structured activities (Art, Music, Bible Story Time, Recess and Snack, Science, and Missions or Missions/Service) on more than one day.
The response should minimize unnecessary building switches by ordering activities so that groups complete consecutive activities within the same building whenever possible. For example, groups should only move from one building to another 4 times or less in a day to keep the schedule efficient.
