Pack for dance
The dance bag often shares a shelf with the gym bag, but the contents are not the same. Here it is dance shoes, leotard and hair tie that count. The steps below keep track of what truly belongs to dance.

About this visual support
The tricky thing about dance is that the kit looks like other sport gear but does not swap in. Soft ballet shoes on a wooden floor are not the same as trainers, and a loose hair tie flies off at the first pirouette. That is why it helps to treat the dance bag as its own category, not a variant of the gym bag.
The pictures place each item side by side so the child recognises their dance things when they come out. It becomes easier to separate what belongs to today’s class from Monday’s school gym lesson. When the brain sees an image, it does not have to sort through words.
A concrete tip: always keep two hair ties in the outer pocket, so a lost or tangled one does not stall the warm-up. Refill the water bottle just before leaving, not the night before. If you want the same list to surface every Monday and Thursday, you can drop it into Routined.
