Planning & Organization Workbook for Kids and Teens
71 Skill-Building Activities to Support Executive Functioning
Planning, organization, and time management don’t come naturally to many children — especially those with ADHD, learning differences, or executive functioning challenges.
This Planning & Organization Workbook was created by an Occupational Therapist to help kids and teens learn these skills step by step, in a clear, supportive, and practical way.
With 71 engaging activities, this workbook teaches students how to:
-
Set meaningful goals
-
Break big tasks into smaller steps
-
Prioritize what comes first
-
Stay organized at school and home
-
Plan ahead and manage time more effectively
What’s Inside:
This workbook includes 55 structured activities that build skills gradually and intentionally, including:
✔ Goal setting (big goals vs. small goals)
✔ Breaking tasks into manageable steps

✔ Creating checklists and to-do lists
✔ Organizing backpacks, desks, and materials
✔ Mind mapping and visual planning tools

Each section builds on the last, helping students move from planning → organizing → executing → reflecting.
