A First-Then Board is a visual tool that helps children understand and follow a sequence of tasks or activities. You can use it for:
✨ Smooth transitions: Help kids easily navigate changes between activities.
🎯 Goal-driven fun: Motivate them with clear rewards for completing tasks.
🛠️ Structured support: Provide a roadmap that fosters independence.
Step 1: Customize Your Board
⚙️ Start by making the board uniquely yours!
Pick the reading level: Match the text to your child’s reading ability.
Decide on # of decks: Choose the number of decks you want to create.
Select/create a child profile: You can select a pre-made child profile, create a child profile from scratch, or continue without selecting a featured child.
Step 2: Add Tasks & Rewards
🚀 Now it’s time to set up the board!
Top 3 boxes: Add rewards to motivate your child. Think fun activities your child will love, like coloring, screen time, or playing a game!
Middle 2 boxes: Add tasks your child needs to complete, such as cleaning up, finishing homework, or brushing their teeth.
Bottom box: Leave the “I am working for” box empty for now. This is where rewards will go later!
⚡ NOTE: To generate the image for each reward/task, press the arrow icon on the individual box. Image generation may take a few minutes—feel free to explore other tabs while our AI works its magic!
Step 3: View & Interact with Your Board
🎉 Your board is ready! Here’s how to use it:
Click on "Expand Cards" to toggle between static and interactive mode.
Interactive Mode: Drag one of the rewards to the “I am working for” box. This lets the child pick their goal, giving them control over their motivation.
Static Mode: Prefer a simple, non-interactive view? No problem—you can switch anytime!
🔄 You can revisit your First-Then Board anytime by heading to your Reading Nook!
