Weekly Planning Chart

Target Age Range: 8 and up! (another good one for the whole family)

Items Needed: Paper & any sort of writing utensil (pens, crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc.)

This chart is a way for parents to get organized for the week. For those who are working from home, and trying to find that new family-work balance, having a chart to organize the plan for the week, along with everything needed is a great way to keep track of what is going on. Each child could create their own chart with what they want to do, the whole family can make one together, this is very much open for your individual interpretation and needs!

Step 1: Do some research with your family!

Find some activities, recipes, etc. (some great options are on this blog, and I shared some ideas on my example, pictured below). Talk with your family, and figure out what activities they would be interested in doing. Everyone could pick one or two things that they would like to do, and have them placed on the chart.

Step 2: Gather your supplies & family!

Grab some paper and your favorite writing utensils.

 Step 3: Creative Time!

Create a chart that has three columns, and seven rows, or enough rows for however many days you want to do some activities. Every day does not have to have something super exciting, if you need a free day, write that down, you deserve it. 

In my example, I had a section for the day, activity, and then supplies needed to make it happen. Next, I filled in each day with something that each of my family members has been wanting to do. There are five of us, so we each picked one, and then decided on one together. These plans can be something as simple as a fun dinner, a specific movie theme night, or a couple activities from this blog. 

Step 4: Finalize your time & Repeat!

This is a pretty simple task that can be done weekly to not only, keep track of the days which are getting a little hazy these days, but also have something for children to look forward to, and maybe even you J. Hang in there and tailor this to your family!
