1. Routines

Routine Library

A routine in Little Streaks is a short checklist your child ticks off on their own, like getting ready for school or winding down for bed. Each has up to six tasks with an icon for each, its own moving scene, and a celebration for every task. Finishing a routine earns a star towards a reward you choose.

Little Streaks comes with 31 ready-made routines, listed here with their tasks. Use any of them as they are, or change the tasks, scene and celebration to suit your child. They're written for kids of about 4 to 10, with simpler routines for younger children at the end.

Prefer paper? Every routine except Calm Corner has a printable weekly chart, with a box to tick for each task and a star to colour in for each day.

Looking for teeth brushing? It isn't a routine of its own: Brush Teeth is a task in six of them. See the teeth brushing routine.
