Free printable kids routine chart with pictures
Three A4 sheets (morning, afternoon and evening), with a picture for each step and a circle to tick every day of the week. For children who can't read yet and for those who can.
How to use the routine chart
- Start with one routine. Usually the morning one, when time is tight.
- Go through the steps together. Explain each picture and cross out or add steps by hand.
- Put it at eye level. In the bedroom, the bathroom or by the door: where the routine happens.
- One circle a day. The child colours the circle after finishing the steps.
- Review after a week. If a step never gets done, it may be in the wrong place or too much for their age.
Tips to make routines stick
- Start with few steps: five or six are enough.
- Praise the effort, not just the result.
- Laminate the sheets or use a plastic sleeve and a dry-wipe marker.
