These Morning Routine Flash Cards are fun free printable cards to help kids get ready for school in the morning. Simple visuals to help kids be more responsible at home.
Morning Routine Flash Cards are a great idea to help you get back into the school groove!
Getting back into a school routine will be the hardest change for my kids and me. We are NOT morning people, so I designed these Free Printable Morning Routine Flash Cards to hang in my kid’s rooms for them to remember what they need to do.
Now that I have them hanging up in each child’s bedroom, I’m crossing my fingers these fun cards help speed things along!
These printable cards are such a great idea for young kids or for children that just don’t remember what to do.
I have a teenage son now and really think he needs these printed again for him! So these Morning Routine Flash Cards could really work for any age.

Choose cards for boys or girls, just click the image you’d like to download and print.
{Please Note} I changed the order since the photo was taken above. My son was kind enough to point out he should be brushing his hair AFTER putting on his clothes:-) Makes sense to me!

What about breakfast?
Carole Barnhart says
We liked your printable visual reminders so much that we featured them in our blog post: http://www.sprfainger-ld.org/blog/mmulcahey/10/10/2014. Thanks so much!
Tania says
Love the cards. My child’s occupational therapist actually recommended a system like this. However, it would be fantastic, to be able to customize them according to a families needs. For instance, in our house we get out of bed and make the bed first. Then we dress and brush hair. Next is breakfast and THEN brush our teeth. Can the download be modified to accommodate different families?
matcar01 says
That is our exact routine! I was hoping for an “eat breakfast” in the mix! That is where we struggle the most!!
Designing Bee says
Thank you for the adorable routine cards!! They look really good and I am sure that they will be very handy. This is a great idea as children can visually see and be reminded of their step-by-step routines during theie morning routine. Here is a free download you may like for an activity on my blog. http://designingbee.com/free-download-joy-pumpkin-worksheet-by-designing-bee/

Great link. How can I add going to the bathroom instead of rushing hair as my son waits for the last minute to go and has very short hair. Thanks once again for this wonderful freebie.

Your cards are pretty and the message is clear, perfect for my girls.

Thank you!

My hubby and I were just talking of doing this for our 2 and 5 yr old. I would love to see more cards. I agree potty, wash hands, and evening routine cards would be great! Thank you so much for sharing!
everydaygiggles says
LOVE love love these! But, I wish you had an “Eat breakfast” card as well.

Gail Holcomb says
Me too! We have a child with an autism spectrum disorder and I am trying to find morning routines that include going potty, eating breakfast, and to including getting her jacket on and waiting for the bus. I do have other pictures of a school bus and a bowl of cereal, so maybe I can try to adjust the size.
WI Gal says
I would love to see other options (use the potty, wash hands). My little ones need reminders of those steps too. Any chance we’ll see customizable printables of this in your shop sometime soon?
Grace says
I love the Kid’s Morning Routine Flash Cards, but for some reason when I click on the image it does not do anything. Would love to have them. Thanks!

Michelle says
Hi Amy,
These are awesome and I am also trying to establish a morning routine for my girls. When I saw your website, I was ecstatic. Would you be able to rearrange the order of the cards? 1. make bed 2. get dress 3. brush hair 4. eat breakfast 5. brush teeth? I would really appreciate. Thanks.
Marikay says
Thank you for these! Would you consider making bedtime routine cards too, please!

Do you have bed time routine cards? I have been trying to get my daughter back into our bedtime routine. I was thinking of gluing these on a ribbon. AM / PM back to back so we can easily flip them for the time of day. Bath – Brush Teeth – PJ’s – Book – Bed
Amylouise says
Love these! I opened them and changed the 1 and 2 around so that he doesn’t brush his teeth, leave the bathroom, go get dressed and then back into the bathroom to brush his hair. These are so cute.

Danielle says
These are so cute and I LOVE the idea. However, I wish the numbers were customizable (is that a word?). I need my girls to get their hair brushed and pulled back BEFORE brushing their teeth, otherwise we end up with toothpaste in the hair! Perhaps no numbers would work; then people could arrange them in any order that suits their routine.

I love your cards. I think I will be printing those up. I am in love with the after school cards too. I just wish they matched your colors for the background. Maybe you could make some similar to the after school cards to match. That would be great.

These are so helpful. They will definitely help my daughters’ mornings go more smoothly. I will feature these at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com. Grab my “Featured” button.
Steph says
I wondered if you make an alternate set without the numbers, and also, I’d like to see some additional steps… like “Eat breakfast” and “Out the door”… actually, in my house, I need it down to the little steps of “Get backpack” and “Remove jammies” and “Go potty”… 🙂 These are beautiful and simple. Love them!
Kathy Hermanson says
Is ther any way a person can change the numbers (the order) on your Morning Routine Cards? I would put them in this order:
(1) Get Dressed; (2) Brush Hair; and (3) Brush Teeth. (I don’t see where the order of 2 and 3 would matter. The child is in the bathroom with a mirror for both of these chores. Any information will be appreciated. Thank you.

I am new to the customizing of pdf files. Is there any way that after we download, we can change the numbers on the routines? We do ours in a somewhat different order. Just wondering! Hope we can because I’m not talented enough to even dream how to go about creating these from scratch.
Love your site! Awesome goodies and astounding talent!

Andrea Cook says
We’re using rewards. We have a jar that I keep refreshed with gum, candy, stickers, tattoos. After my daughter receives 5 rewards in a row, she earns a voucher. The vouchers include handwritten awards like “30 minutes of Wii time with Daddy,” “Bake cookies with Mommy,” “Breakfast in Bed.”
We’ll see how it works! I plan to print out your Routine cards too! I need all the help I can get with my daughter who is is on the autism spectrum and has ADHD!
Jordyn says
@Andrea Cook, wait- so not only does she get rewards, but she also gets things like breakfast in bed??? not to be judgemental, but if you keep it up that way she is going to get spoiled rotton!
Elaine says
@Jordyn, I don’t think spoiled rotten at all! I think she is learning that good behavior is rewarded …..I think breakfast in bed is a great reward!! They didn’t say she was doing it daily!
Mia says
These will be great for my 13 year old and 3 year old! They both need visual reminders!!
Shelly Roberts says
These are absolutely AWESOME!!! I wish I’d had these when my kids were growing up. But I will keep these downloads for when my grandchildren are old enough to use them. They would also be good for our special needs kids to know what they need to do in the mornings. Do you mind if I share them with some of the teachers I work with?
