Community events often provide a printed or digital program with an order of activities or performances. In this video, Molly uses an event schedule to figure out how many days are left before her performance — and how many days she has left to find a key piece of her regalia! Watch the video with your child and then answer the questions below — or make up your own questions.
Ask your child to think about what happened in the video and then ask the questions below.
What problem did Molly encounter when planning for her trip?
How much time did Molly have to solve the problem?

What other information was on "The Big Gathering" event schedule?
What activities in your community might have an order of events schedule? Examples could include story time at the library, a dance recital or music performance, or activities scheduled at the county fair.
Encourage your child to make up their own event schedule — even if it is just a list of your family’s planned activities for a day or a week!
