Visual Homeschool Schedule Cards

If you homeschool little ones, having a homeschool schedule or routine is key! A predictable routine helps your child know what you expect from them, gives them healthy boundaries, and provides a level of security.

When your days are hap-hazard and chaotic, our little ones can struggle to feel secure and safe. Of course, crazy days can happen to anyone, but failing to plan is a sure-fire way to make every day a crazy and choatic day. And that’s not what we want.

For those of you who have toddlers or newborns, GIVE YOURSELF GRACE. You can plan, plan, plan and still have crazy, chaotic days. Trust me. I’ve been there, done that, and got to the t-shirt.

I’m excited to share my homeschool schedule cards with you to help you out with this! Starting at 7:00 AM and ending at 8:30PM, I have analogue and numeral clock cards by every half hour. I have also included 32 routine cards for things like spelling, geography, math, handwriting, and running errands.

The clock cards and routine cards can be displayed in a pocket chart or taped to a wall or poster for each day of the week. This gives your kids a visual as to what comes next.

I’ve also included some daily plan sheets for Monday through Saturday {because some families much homeschool on Saturdays} if you’d like to jot out your days before posting your schedule. If you want a completely editable homeschool planner, I’ve got that, too!

Homeschool Routine or Schedule?

Personally, I prefer a routine over a schedule. What’s the difference? With a schedule, you typically follow the clock. With a routine, you follow the flow.

With a schedule, your mindset is, “We’re going to do math for 30 minutes each day.”

With a routine, your mindset is, “We’re going to do snack after math each day.” This way, if math only takes 15 minutes one day, you’re not tied to the clock. You’re done with math, and you can move onto snack time. To me, a routine is much more flexible than a schedule. You can read even more Tips for Creating a Homeschool Routine.

Now a homeschool schedule may be more your style, and that’s okay, too. That’s why I included both the clock cards and routine cards. If you’ve prefer to keep the times off completely, just post the routine cards in the order you plan to do them for the day.

Despite your preference of homeschool schedule or homeschool routine, I would suggest trying to keep the flow of most days similar. For example, if math comes after snack on Monday, I’d try to keep snack after math every other day that you can. This predictability is SO good for little ones.
