Weekly lesson plan template
A free weekly lesson plan template — a single landscape page that shows five days × time blocks at a glance. Best for primary classroom teachers, anyone who plans Monday morning from a single sheet on Sunday, and team leaders who need to share the week with a co-teacher or aide.
Most weekly templates use a grid with subjects down the left (literacy, numeracy, science, inquiry, PE) and days across the top. Each cell holds a short objective, the activity, and the page reference or resource. You give up the depth of a daily plan, but you gain a bird's-eye view that catches sequencing problems before the week starts — “we're doing fractions Monday but the assessment is Tuesday” gets obvious instantly.
Weekly vs daily — which to use?
Use the weekly template for routine planning of an established class — primary classroom, your fourth time teaching this unit, low-prep weeks. Use a daily template when you're being observed, introducing brand-new content, teaching a high-stakes lesson before an assessment, or scripting a substitute-friendly plan. Many teachers run a weekly grid as the master and bolt a daily plan on top for one or two lessons in the week that need extra depth.
