Morning routine chart template

A morning routine chart takes the nagging out of school mornings. This example turns the routine into a train called the Morning Express, with one carriage for each step, a picture and a time on every carriage, and the school gates as the last stop. Notes for the night before and tips for grown-ups sit underneath.
