Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Pencil or pen
• Colored markers or crayons (optional)
• A timer (you can use a clock or a phone)

Before the lesson, think about the activities you do every day and how long they usually take. This will help you create a realistic routine!

Activities

• Brainstorm Your Day:

  Start by writing down all the activities you do in a typical day. Include everything from waking up to going to bed. Think about schoolwork, meals, playtime, and chores!

• Prioritize Your Tasks:

  Once you have your list, decide which activities are most important. Use a star or a different color to highlight the top three activities you want to focus on each day.

• Create Your Routine:

  Using your prioritized list, create a daily schedule. Draw a simple chart or write it out. Make sure to include time for breaks and fun activities!

• Set a Timer:

  Choose one task from your routine to practice. Set a timer for that task and see how much you can accomplish in that time. This will help you stay focused!

• Decorate Your Routine:

  Make your routine colorful and fun! Use markers or crayons to add drawings or stickers that represent each activity. Hang it up somewhere you'll see it every day!
