A visual timetable helps every child see what's coming next. Start from an example day, or build your own. Drag picture cards into your day, or tap a card to add it to the end, and add times if you like.

Press Show on board for a big, clear timetable. As each activity finishes, press Done, next, and it's ticked off. For children who need it simpler, switch to Now and next.

You can print it as a timetable strip, as cut-out cards to laminate, or as a now and next board. Try the Visual Timetable Maker now at lessonplanner.info.

It's free, and you don't need an account.
