Print the sheet. Cut out the separate cards; they are choices, not a six-step plan.

Questions about the material

What is a now-and-next board?

It is a short plan showing two activities in order. You can use it when a whole daily schedule is too much to keep track of.

How do I change the cards as we go?

For example: Now we put shoes on; next we play football. Once the shoes are on, remove that card and move football to Now. Add a new activity to Next only when you know what will happen. Explain the change and adapt the plan if help or a break is needed.
