About the now and next board
A now and next board shows children what is happening now and what comes next, using simple pictures. It helps many children feel calm and ready for changes, and is widely used in early years and to support children with SEND. Build your day by dragging lesson and routine cards into order, then press Move on as the day goes. Change the words, time, picture or colour on any card, or make your own. Switch to First and then, or add a third Then box. Download a PDF of the board and the cards to print, cut out and laminate. Everything is saved in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for.
