Free weekly family planner

One page for the whole family week. Each day gets its activities, who drives each way, what to pack, the forms and to-dos that are due, and the kids' chores. Print it, fill it in on Sunday, and put it where everyone walks past.

The short answer

A weekly family planner works best as one page with a column for each day. Fill it in once a week, with the other adult, from the week's school emails, coach updates and flyers. For every activity, write the time, the child and the place, then a name for the drop-off and the pickup. Write a question mark for any ride nobody has agreed to yet. Add what each child needs to pack, any form or fee that's due, and two or three chores per child. Keep it to this week only. A month at a time goes stale, because practices and games move.

What goes in each row

• Activities. The time, the child and the place. "4:30 Violin, Mia, Conservatory" is enough.
• Who drives. Both ways: "Mom / Grandpa". A "?" means you still need a yes.
• Pack. Only what's easy to forget: the cleats, the swimsuit, the picture-day form.
• Forms and to-dos. Permission slips, fees, a snack to bring, sign-ups that close this week.
• Chores. Two or three per child. Kids can tick their own.

How to use it

1. Gather the week first. Collect the school emails, the coach's updates, the flyers and the team-chat messages before you write anything.
2. Fill in the activities, one day at a time.
3. Name the drivers. One person for each drop-off and each pickup, and a "?" until they say yes.
4. Add the packing and the to-dos. Only what's new or easy to forget.
5. Post it where everyone sees it on the way out, like the fridge or the door to the garage.
6. Re-check on Wednesday. When a time or place changes, cross it out, write the new one, and ask the driver again.

What does a filled-in day look like?

The "?" on the soccer pickup is the one ride to settle before Tuesday.

Planner or carpool schedule?

Use this planner when you want the whole week on one page: activities, packing, forms and chores. If driving is the hard part, our weekly carpool schedule gives every activity its own row, with a leave-by time and a drop-off and pickup driver. For more on setting up a spot for it, see our guide to a family command center.

How FamHuddle does this

FamHuddle fills in this week for you from the messages you already get. Forward the coach's email, snap the flyer or paste the team chat, and FamHuddle proposes each activity with its time, place and packing list for you to confirm. Every ride stays "Needs a driver" until a named adult says yes, and chores live in the same plan. Each evening at 7:30, the Huddle shows what tomorrow needs. A spare tablet can show one child's day as a kids' board.
