VISUAL SCHEDULES: K IDS VISUAL SCHEDULES WORK BEST WHEN CUSTOMIZED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A SPECIFIC CHILD OR A SPECIFIC CLASSROOM. Select one or any combination of options for generating visual schedule cards: › Copy, cut apart, and laminate the visual schedule cards in this document. › Purchase a commercial software program at www.mayer-johnson.com or www.do2learn.com. › Take photographs of often-scheduled activities in your own classroom, such as a child working on an activity at a table, children sitting in a group listening to the teacher, a child eating a snack, children praying, children playing instruments, a child cleaning up, a child greeting parents at the door, and so on. Laminating whichever photos or symbols you choose to use will make them more durable for repeated use. Attach a Velcro® square to the back of each picture. Use the attached schedule charts, a Velcro strip, or a sturdy 3-ring binder. Use the pictures or symbols to share with children the activities you have planned for a session. Remove a card from the display when an activity or task has been completed. Visual schedules are a classroom tool to give children cues about the sequence of activities during any given period of time. At church, a visual schedule can add order to a busy routine and minimize distractions during transition times because children know what to expect.
