Charts for different ages
This set includes simple charts with pictures, spaces for stickers, tick boxes and short writing prompts. Younger children can point to a device picture, choose a colour or add a sticker when screen time ends. Children in Class 1 to 3 can record the activity, start and stop times, or mark how they felt before and after using a screen. Some templates can be used for one day, while others help your child notice a pattern across the week. Choose one chart at a time so the routine stays clear.
Use the chart with a family routine
Before screen time begins, agree on what your child will watch or play and when the activity will finish. Let your child mark the chart before and after use, then move to a planned activity such as drawing, outdoor play, reading or helping to set the table. In class, a teacher can use a chart during a discussion about daily routines and healthy choices, without asking children to share private family details. A Visual Schedule for Kids can help place screen time alongside meals, schoolwork and play.
Help children use it honestly
A common mistake is treating the chart as a test, so a child may hide missed entries or say what they think an adult wants to hear. Keep your response calm and use the record to plan the next day. Young children may also think every device activity is the same. Talk about the difference between a video call, a learning task, a game and a show. A chart records what happened, but it does not replace a clear family rule, a timer or an adult helping with transitions.
Lumi's tips
- For a younger child, use one picture or sticker for each agreed screen session instead of asking for written times.
- For an older child, add a reason for using the device and a plan for what to do after screen time ends.
- Keep the chart near the device or family calendar so your child can use it during a real daily routine.

Questions parents ask
What is a screen time chart?
It is a simple record that helps a child notice when they use a phone, tablet, television or computer. It can include agreed times, activities, tick boxes, stickers or feelings.
How do I use a screen time chart with a toddler?
Use a picture-based chart and let your child add one sticker when the agreed activity is over. An adult should explain the routine and help with stopping.
Should a screen time chart include device rules?
Yes, you can add short family rules such as asking before using a device, keeping devices away during meals or stopping when the timer rings. Keep the rules few and easy to remember.
Can teachers use a screen time chart in class?
Yes. Use it to teach routines, choices and recording skills. Invite children to discuss sample situations rather than requiring them to reveal their home screen time.
How do I download and print these charts?
Most EarlyActivity printables are free to download with a free account. Files are PDFs for A4 and US Letter paper, and you can print them at home or in your own classroom.
