Mom group
Several adult voices, children playing who are not the usual friends, and rooms that feel unfamiliar, all at the same time. The picture below helps the child grasp what mom group actually means.

About this visual support
Mom group is one of those activities where a whole stack of social demands lands at once. Parents chat in the background, other children show up without warning, and the expectation of playing with someone new hangs in the air even if nobody has said it out loud.
A visual schedule for mom group works best when it pictures not only the gathering itself but everything around it: who comes along, where you go, how long it lasts, and what happens at home afterwards. The group then becomes a bounded box in the day instead of a vague zone without clear edges. That helps the child sort impressions on the way there, and know that the way home exists on the other side.
A concrete tip: include a card for playing alone for a bit inside the mom group sequence, so the child knows it is fine to step out of the big play now and then. For children who need more predictable structure, including kids with ADHD or with high language load, that small pause is often what makes the rest possible. In Routined you can build the meet-up as home, walk there, say hi, play, snack, walk home.
