Ready for school – pictograms for getting out the door

Six cards from packed bag to the jacket hung up at school. For the mornings that stall between breakfast and the front door. Print the sheet for free.

6 cards, one step at a time

Noah does the same every morning: bag, jacket, shoes, off, arrive, hang up the jacket. The cards only end once he is in the classroom.

Print the cards

All 6 cards on one A4 sheet with names underneath, ready to cut out. To swap a card or change a label, open the sheet in the editor first.

  1. Print on A4 at 100% and cut out the cards.
  2. Put the first three cards by the front door, the last three in the bag or at school.
  3. Pack the bag the night before, so the first card is already done in the morning.

What parents ask

Why do the cards end at school and not at the door?

Because the transition is not over when the door closes. A child who knows what happens on arrival leaves the house more easily.

Do the cards suit children with ADHD?

Yes. Few concrete steps with a clear end point are exactly what helps when attention jumps around.

Can the school use the same cards?

Yes. Print two sheets: one for home and one for the cloakroom at school, so the steps are the same in both places.
