Perfect for Elementary Aged Kids

TODAY is the start of summer break for my kids. 😳 Are there any other Mama's out there a liiiiiittle terrified when routines change?! 🙋‍♀️ Mostly I'm just worried about the hoodlums running wild and forgetting all our rules, ya know? 😬 So, would-ya look at me...creating some structure and routines with...printables! 💁‍♀️ Uh-huh. That's right. 😆 I'm pretty excited about it.

I actually created a version of these printables at the beginning of the school year, but needed to revise it for the summer. I figured I would share it with YOU in case it helps any other mamas of elementary aged kiddos. You're welcome, you're welcome. ☺️

Please enjoy the following:

1. Summer MORNING Routine - give your kids a clear expectation of how mornings should go
2. Note: the final steps include "fill a water bottle" and "pack a snack" because every day we go SOMEwhere so this helps ME out if they take responsibility of packing their own water bottle and snack. BOOM. Win for us Mamas!! 🙌
3. Summer BEDTIME Routine - give your kids a clear expectation of how bedtime should go
4. Summer WEEKLY Schedule - fill this in as you wish! Or print off different copies as your schedule changes.

• Some examples to add: church, baseball practice, chores, trash day, laundry day, library day, cleaning day, host friends day, etc. etc.
• We like this to remind us of the "big things" going on so we don't forget. And my kids benefit SO MUCH from having a visual of where we're at in the week.

My school-aged boys, ages 7 and 5, benefit from this kind of thing a lot -- it's good for them to know what's expected of them every morning and evening. You'll notice the icons/pictures to help our non-readers out. 😉👌 My 5 year old actually takes great pride in following these steps to a T, which is super cute! Don't get me wrong though, we definitely have to remind them and walk them through the steps at times.

I'm hoping that re-rolling this out for the summer time does wonders for my boys. 🤞 We want to start the summer off STRONG, right?

May the odds be ever in your favor. 🙏😂

Let me know if you have a special request for another type of schedule or resource, or if a blank morning/evening schedule would be helpful. I LOVE creating these kinds of things! 🤗

Happy summer or almost-summer, depending where you live!

XO! 💕
