Time management

Practice a helpful move for time management.

Picture cards: Pick the task · Choose a time · Pick a backup

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Compare two open times and pick one to start. Say “I’ll review at lunch and use after school as my backup.” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
