What is Weekly Visual Planner for Kids?
A weekly planner for kids is a tool designed to help children manage their time and plan their activities. This organizer is an excellent choice for parents who want to help their children learn about taking on responsibilities and developing healthy habits.
6 Benefits of the Weekly Planner
Incorporating a weekly planner into your child’s routine can have numerous benefits that go beyond just managing activities.
Here are some of the main advantages of using our weekly planner for kids:
1. Improves Time Management
A weekly planner can help your child manage their tasks and activities by scheduling specific times for each one. This way, your child can keep track of their commitments and plan their day and week accordingly.
For example, if your child has a soccer match on the weekends, they can plan their study sessions for weekdays.

2. Enhances Productivity:
Regular use of a planner can help your child become more productive. They can set realistic goals for the day or week, and track their progress towards achieving them.
By doing so, your child can prioritize their work and focus on what is most important.
3. Develops Responsibility:
A weekly planner is an excellent tool for teaching your child responsibility.
By managing their own schedule, they learn how to be accountable for their actions and decisions.
Your child can also learn to take ownership of their lessons and homework, leading to better academic performance.
4. Builds Independence:
Using a planner can foster independence and self-sufficiency in your child. It helps them become more self-reliant in completing their tasks, organizing their routines, and managing their time.
This skill will be beneficial to them as they grow older and maintain independence in their daily life.
5. Reduces Stress:
A well-planned schedule and an organized approach to tasks can help alleviate stress.
A weekly planner can decrease the stress levels of both you and your child by ensuring that nothing gets missed or forgotten.
6. Parent-child collaboration:
Using a planner can be an excellent opportunity for parents to engage with their children and discuss their goals and activities. By involving the children in the planning process, parents can teach them how to make good choices and manage their time.
We also have other free organizational charts printable available for your kids:

Tips for Your Kids to Use the Weekly Planner
- Consider involving your children in the decision-making process for scheduling their day. While some tasks are mandatory, like tidying up or doing homework, let them decide how their time is divided.
- Break down daily tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks. By breaking tasks into smaller pieces and focusing on one at a time, kids can feel a sense of accomplishment with each completed step and stay motivated to finish their schedule.
- Incorporate fun activities into the schedule. Make time for family outings, special playdates, and individual activities your child enjoys doing. This gives them something to look forward to on a daily basis that motivates and encourages them.
- Reward your children for completing the tasks on the schedule. Offering a reward will give them a sense of accomplishment and encourage them to stick to their routine.
