End-of-day routine for pre-K (ages 3–5)

Use this end-of-day screen during your pre-K class’s pack-up and goodbye routine. It helps young children follow steps, check the time, and reflect on their day.

Children see a friendly background, a big clock, a picture checklist, a class note, and a simple exit ticket they can answer with faces or thumbs up/down.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.

Why it works

  • Young children benefit from clear routines and visual steps.
  • Interactive checklists help build independence and responsibility.
  • Exit tickets encourage children to share about their day, even if they are not yet reading.

Tips

  • Use pictures for checklist items so non-readers can follow along.
  • Let children touch the screen to tick off steps if possible.
  • Keep instructions short and use a calm, gentle voice.

Make it your own

  • Adapt for remote learning by sharing your screen in a video call.
  • Use different backgrounds for seasons or themes (e.g., animals, weather).
  • Add extra support for children with special needs by using more visuals or fewer steps.

Questions teachers ask

How long should the end-of-day routine take in pre-K?

Plan for 5–10 minutes. Keep the routine simple and consistent so children know what to expect.

What if some children cannot read the checklist?

Use pictures or symbols for each step and read them aloud. This helps all children, including emerging readers.

How can I help children answer the exit ticket if they are shy?

Let them point to a face or thumb on the screen, or answer as a group first to build confidence.
