🧭 Plan for 10–12 years · week 2026-W39
Monday
Make the family newsletter
One page a month: a headline, a photo caption, an interview with a family member, a recipe. Print it or hand-copy it for relatives.
You need: paper, pens, a photo
Walk and talk
A weekly walk with no agenda and no phones. Side by side is easier than face to face for the things that are hard to say.
You need: just walking
Tuesday
Family device contract
Write a one-page agreement together: where devices sleep at night, screen-free times, what to do when something online feels wrong. Everyone signs, parents included.
You need: paper, a pen
Book swap club
Swap a book with a friend or cousin each fortnight and exchange a three-line review. Reading stays social, not assigned.
You need: a book, a notebook
Wednesday
Single-tab reading
Twenty minutes with a physical book, no device in reach, then one sentence written about what happened. Track pages read across the week.
You need: a book, a notebook
Plan the budget
Give a fixed amount for a family outing or festival shopping and let your child plan it on paper, including a ten percent buffer.
You need: paper, a pencil, a calculator
Thursday
Weekly planner
On Sunday, map the week on one sheet: school, homework blocks, play, one hobby slot. Review on Saturday what worked.
You need: a planner sheet, a pencil
Cook one dinner
Your child plans, shops for and cooks one simple dinner a week with you as assistant, not lead. Dal-chawal counts.
You need: a recipe, ingredients
Friday
Build a water filter
Layer sand, charcoal and cloth in a cut bottle and test how clear muddy water comes out. Change one layer and test again. Not for drinking.
You need: a plastic bottle, sand, charcoal, cloth
Two-minute talk
Pick a topic card, give one minute to prepare, then speak for two minutes with a beginning, a middle and an end. Swap roles.
You need: topic cards, a timer
Saturday
Pomodoro with a paper timer
Twenty-five minutes on one subject, five minutes off, phone in another room. Three rounds, then a proper break. Let your child pick the order of subjects.
You need: a timer, a notebook
Terrace circuit
Five stations — skipping, step-ups, squats, a plank, a sprint — one minute each, twice round. Log the week.
You need: a skipping rope, a step, a chart
Sunday
Make the family newsletter
One page a month: a headline, a photo caption, an interview with a family member, a recipe. Print it or hand-copy it for relatives.
You need: paper, pens, a photo
Walk and talk

Questions parents ask
Do I need to buy anything for these activities?
No. Every activity in the planner uses things a typical Indian home already has — katoris, dal, cloth, paper, your own voice. Nothing needs to be bought.
How much time does a day take?
Two short activities a day, roughly 15–25 minutes in total. You can do them any time, together or spread across the day.
Is this a syllabus my child must complete?
No. It is a menu of playful ideas matched to your child's age, in the spirit of NEP 2020's play-based approach. Skip, repeat or swap freely — following your child's interest matters more than finishing the list.
