Open activityPlanning a balanced form time session
A useful form period does not need a long lesson plan. A simple routine makes the time easier to run consistently.

- Mix literacy, numeracy, wellbeing and general knowledge activities across the week.
- Use a visible timer and finish with enough time for notices, questions and a clear transition.
