Printable Weekly Planners for Students
These free printables are great for organising the next 7 days. They are primarily designed for students and teachers, but in fact can be used by anybody to schedule and plan their week. Most of the weekly planners for school have happy themes, and some also have motivational expressions to help those who use them stay positive in life. There are both horizontal and vertical planners to choose from.
In a classroom environment, the weekly planners can serve as interesting writing tasks for ESL and general English learners. The PDFs can be used with a wide variety of ages, and you will find some especially for children at the bottom of this page. They can be used when teaching things such as daily routines, future tenses, school subjects, eating habits, hobbies, just about anything that people do each day!
Once learners have completed them, they can also be used as speaking exercises. Students can present their plans orally to the class or a partner and tell them all about what lies ahead in the next week. The weekly planners can also be turned into conversation pieces with students asking each other about their upcoming routines.
They can also ask questions such as:
- What are your goals for the week?
- What is the most difficult thing that you need to do?
- What is something that you should not forget?
- What do you plan on eating?
- What exercise and fun activities do you plan on doing this week?
- Do you have any appointments or arrangements to meet friends?
