School Calendar tutorial

Build an After-School Activity Schedule with AI

Put homework, sport, and music practice into one visible plan. This tutorial uses Magic Generate to draft a small after-school schedule, with a review step before anything is added to your calendar.

The week you’ll build

This example is a starting point. Use dates and activities that fit your own week.

DayTimeActivityDuration
Monday4:00 pmHomework30 min
Tuesday4:30 pmViolin practice30 min
Wednesday5:00 pmTennis60 min
Thursday4:00 pmHomework30 min
Friday4:30 pmViolin practice30 min

A prompt to try

Replace the bracketed date with the Monday of your chosen week, then paste this into Magic Generate.

For the week starting Monday [YYYY-MM-DD], create these after-school events:
Monday 4pm Homework for 30 minutes
Tuesday 4:30pm Violin practice for 30 minutes
Wednesday 5pm Tennis for 1 hour
Thursday 4pm Homework for 30 minutes
Friday 4:30pm Violin practice for 30 minutes

1. Choose the week and your fixed commitments

Start with actual lesson and training times. Then choose where homework and home practice fit, leaving space for travel, food, and rest. The sample timings are placeholders for your own commitments.

Open School Calendar, choose New blank calendar, and name it in the calendar settings. Navigate to the week you want to organise.

2. Describe the schedule in Magic Generate

Open Magic Generate and paste the example prompt. Replace the start date, activity names, times, and durations with your own plan before sending it.

An explicit date and a duration for each activity make the result easier to check. Start with one week rather than a whole term.

3. Review and add the suggested events

Read the generated event list. Check that each event falls on the intended day and has the right start time and duration. Once it matches your plan, choose Add to calendar.

Look across the calendar for overlapping activities and gaps that are too short for travel. Open event details to make any adjustments.

4. Ask about the week or adjust the timing

Try asking “What do I have next week?” to see events from the calendar.

If every event needs to move, try “Move all schedules 1 hour later”. Review the proposed events and confirm only if all of them should change. For one changed lesson, edit that event directly.

5. Share the plan with your family

Choose Publish calendar to create a read-only view. Check the content, set an optional password if needed, and publish. Open the link on another device before sharing it with the people who need the schedule.

After changing an event, use Republish to update the same link. Ask family members to reopen or refresh it to see the latest published plan.

Make the next week easier to see

Start with a few activities, check the details, and build from there.
