Easy Homeschool Routine Ideas to Try Today

Being home with your kiddos all day long, day after day, can quickly become exhausting. They’re bouncing off the walls, eating everything in the fridge and fighting with each other constantly. So how do homeschool moms do this, year after year? Well, we know the secret weapon to calming the chaos: having an easy homeschool routine for the kids!

Homeschool routines don’t have to be complex or difficult. Routines aren’t schedules, so there’s no need to worry about getting behind. They’re flexible and easy to implement. In fact, your family likely already has routines in place, whether you realize it or not!

Adults thrive on routine but for kids, an easy routine is an absolute necessity.

For us, we usually start school around 9:00, eat lunch around noon and wrap up our day around 3:00. I added these items to the printable first, then added in the other activities where needed.

Making a routine is the easy part but sticking to it is the tricky part. Do your best to stick to the routine for about 10 days straight. By the end of the 10 days, your entire family will know exactly what is coming up next. This stops the “Mooooom” complaints and answering a million questions a day.
