Homeschool Mom’s Routine Chart | FREE Printable

Need a super simple routine chart for homeschooling, homemaking, and family life? For years now I have been using a routine chart that I made with a wet-erase whiteboard calendar. I converted it to work for my needs and it is super simple & plain.

I decided to create a beautiful printable routine chart that is based on the same layout, but designed just for this purpose! I use mine to keep my entire family’s routine summary in one place, but you can break it down into more detail.

Below, you will see several ways to use this homeschool mom’s routine chart. It works for homeschool lessons, kids’ chores, meal planning, and more!

I created this with homeschool moms in mind, but I know that if you are a homeschool mom, you are usually a homemaker as well. Often, you may be a working mom (from home or outside of the home), so I made this easy to customize for all of your needs.

These routine charts work for all moms and homemakers, so don’t let the label deter you. This printable pack comes with 4 types of layouts – all un-dated, so you can use 1 or all, and use as many as you need for years to come!

You can also laminate the charts you choose and use a dry/wet-erase marker! I like to update my routine chart each year.

Scroll down to see examples of how I use these simple and effective charts in my home. They are a beautiful way to organize your life!

Example Way To Use The Homeschool Mom’s Routine Chart Printables

How I use it: I list each area I want to have a routine for down the left side of the chart. For us, this is our meal plan, school lessons, chores, screen time, and work schedule. (see example chart below)

I put our to-do list or memo in the square for each day. I keep this general – it gives my family our routine at a glance and we know what to do next.

For our meal plan, I choose themes for each day. I know at a glance which type of meat to defrost, what sides I’ll be prepping, etc.

• Sunday: Big Breakfast & Easy Dinner (grilled meat, leftovers).
• Monday: Mexican-inspired (soft tacos, beef & bean burritos/bowls, etc.).
• Tuesday: Irish-inspired (meat & potatoes like my mom’s upside-down shepherd’s pie, meatloaf & oven-roasted potatoes, etc.).
• Wednesday: Asian-inspired (chicken & rice, stir-fry, etc.).
• Thursday: SW USA-inspired (chili, taco stuffed baked potatoes, etc.).
• Friday: Italian-inspired (spaghetti, pasta, etc.).
• Saturday: PNW/Comfort Food (Pacific Northwest food like salmon, pasty, or soup).

For our homeschool routine, I simply put the subjects that we’ll do each day.

• Sunday: Family games, music.
• Monday: Bible, Math, Language Arts, History.
• Tuesday: Bible, Math, Language Arts, Science.
• Wednesday: Bible, Math, Language Arts, History.
• Thursday: Bible, Math, Language Arts, Science.
• Friday: Catch-up Day and art, music, Latin, etc.
• Saturday: Dad teaches music, life skills, etc.

Homeschool Mom’s Routine Chart Must-Have Resources

For our chores, I list the priority chores to be done each day.

• Sunday: empty garbage & rotate laundry.
• Monday-Thursday: empty garbage, dishes, vacuuming, rotate laundry.
• Friday: regular + scrub bathrooms, floors, windows, etc.
• Saturday: empty garbage, do the dishes, vacuum, and rotate laundry.

For our screen-time routine, I write in the child’s name/initial on each day they get screen time. Monday-Friday is when they can play a (non-internet-based) game, and work on their creative projects like writing or video editing, etc. Saturday & Sunday is family time, which may include a movie.

For my work schedule, I write down the time slots I hope to devote to work each day. I aim for one “power hour” each afternoon Monday through Thursday and Saturday. Then, I try to work a few more hours on Friday since it is a lighter homeschool day.

I hope you enjoyed my examples. Remember that you are in charge of your home’s routine, so make these routine charts work for you!
