Ready for School Routines

Goal: Manage their own things and routines: packing a bag, looking after belongings, getting ready on time.

For parents: Practise familiar routines slowly, with the help your child needs. A picture reminder can make the next step clearer. Allow enough time for eating, washing and getting ready without racing.

Do together

  1. Bag checklist

    You need: A picture checklist: books, pencil case, water bottle, lunch box

    Every evening your child packs their bag using the checklist and ticks each item.

  2. Our morning order

    You need: A picture routine: wash, dress, eat, shoes

    Follow the pictures together at a comfortable pace. Let your child point to the next step. Offer help where needed and allow enough time for eating and washing without racing.

  3. Lost and found

    You need: Labels, a marker

    Label everything with your child's name. Practise opening their lunch box and bottle on their own.
