Visual Schedule & Chore Chart Cards

Establishing routines and rhythms for your day, especially with young children, is important. With young children, having visuals of what you expect from them each day can help them become more independent with their daily tasks and will help to keep them on track and hold them accountable for their daily tasks. Having a visual list of tasks needing done for the day or a set period during the day, takes the guessing away and sets children up for success. 

Why is a Visual Schedule Important? 

Since we first introduced our Visual Schedule to our three year old, we have seen a night and day difference in her demeanor. The expectations of what is expected of her throughout the day have been established with the schedule which has cut out a lot of sad and upset feelings and meltdowns throughout the day because she has known what to expect ahead of time. The visuals have allowed her, even at such a young age, to understand what she needs to do or what order we will be doing things in that day allowing her day to flow more smoothly. She generally enjoys going to the fridge (where we kept our schedule) to see what comes next.  

Having designated times throughout the day to clean up toys, has made clean up time much more enjoyable. She knows that it is expected of her at those times and the resistance we were experiencing before has started to diminish.

Having a visual schedule has also helped to set the expectations for when we are doing our "at-tivities" together. Sweet girl would do school style activities all day every day if she could. She loves to learn and loves a good "at-tivity." 

For our schedule, I separated it into a Morning, Afternoon, and Evening routine so it was less overwhelming. I set up the schedule for our next day the night before and have it all ready to go for when Miss 3 wakes. As she completes a task she will move the card (which I have added magnets to the back of) back to the stack with all of the other cards we didn't use that day. 

Visual Schedule Cards

I have compiled all of the cards we use, plus over 230 others, into a Visual Schedule and Chore Chart card set so that you too can create order in your day for your children and students. While I tried to think of just about everything you may need during the day or that your child or student may have on their classroom/school schedule, if there is something that you need that is not included, just reach out to me via email and I would more than happy to add it for you. 

I created the cards to fit on a full sheet of paper in the pdf, but when I printed the ones you see in all of the pictures, I printed two pages per sheet which made them the perfect size for fitting on our fridge. Like I mentioned before, I chose to laminate them and add circle magnets to the back of them so we could use them on our fridge, but these would also be great on a bulletin board or in a pocket chart depending on the size you print out the cards. 

I hope you find this visual schedule and chore chart set useful in your home and classroom. 

With over 230 different schedule, chores, after school extra curricular activities, school subject cards etc. this pack is super versatile for your home or classroom needs. You can read the listing description for a list of all the cards included.
