Guide packet
Field day rotation planning notes
Build a station rotation teachers and volunteers can follow without a dozen text messages.
Packet note
Plan for movement first
A rotation schedule is a map problem as much as a time problem.
List groups/classes, stations, time blocks, starting positions, water/rest stops, and rainy-day notes.
Packet note
Print teacher packets
Print maps, assignments, and station notes that are easy to skim.
Write the packet so it still makes sense after you hand it off.
Packet note
Leave room for local rules
Do not put school-specific supervision, medical, or emergency procedures into the tool.
Use reminders to check official school instructions.
