The big ideaDifferent days need different things. A list helps us remember them.
How it works
Different days need different things, and a list helps us remember them.
Before packing, ask three questions: where am I going, what will I do, and what do I need?
Then check the list and tick each thing off.
Two bags, two lists.
Example 1: Ask three questions
Where am I going? To the pool!
What will I do? Swim.
What do I need? A towel, goggles and a swimsuit.
Example 2: Write and tick
Kit writes the list and draws a little picture beside each thing.
Each thing goes into the bag and gets a tick.
A bag that is ready the night before makes a calm morning.

Tick, tick, tick.
Example 3: Different bag, different list
A pencil case is for school, so it stays out of the swim bag.
A sleepover needs a toothbrush, pajamas and a soft toy.
Each bag holds the things its own day needs.
Words to know
list
Things written down so we remember them.
tick
A mark that shows a thing is done.
swim bag
A bag for a swimming day.
sleepover
A night at a friend's home.
Watch out
Do not pack in a big rush. Rushing makes us forget things.
Do not pack from memory alone. A list is a memory on paper.
A bag for one day is not right for another day.
If you forget something, that is okay. Try again next time.

What are the three questions before packing?
Which goes in a swim bag, goggles or a pencil case?
What goes in a sleepover bag?
Why do we tick things off?
Answers: 1. where am I going, what will I do, what do I need · 2. goggles · 3. a toothbrush, pajamas and a soft toy · 4. to show what is packed
Try at homeWith a grown-up, make a list for your next day out, draw a picture beside each thing, and pack your bag with the list.
For grown-upsWrite the list with your child the night before a trip or a lesson, and let them tick each thing off as it goes in. Forgetting is okay, so use it as a reason to make a better list.
