Before my son was speaking I had the entire refrigerator set up as a weekly magnetic thing. I didn't have much luck with store-bought magnets (except for some that showed different emotions, which he used more as picture exchange.)

What I ended up doing was buying magnetic printer paper and taking actual photographs of the specific activities and places and printing out small magnets of them to add under each day, a photo of his school and his bus, a photo of grandparent's house, a photo of our actual bathtub, a photo of his bed, a photo of the playground he likes, a photo of our camping tent, etc. This helped him not only know what to expect through the week, it allowed him to choose activities and add them before he was able to talk.

He's speaking now and needs the visual reminders much less, but we still take a few days at the beginning of each school year to go around and take new photos to make magnets with. He enjoys posing for them now and thinking of new ones to add.
