POKEMON Y2K CALENDAR

A couple of people have asked me if I know of any sites where one can print off millennium calendars.  I didn't, so I thought I'd create my own.  The pokemon are the most popular section of the site, so that's what I used for the calendars.  This is a great project for the kids to do on December 31st or January 1st.  For children with a lower attention span, try giving them one month at a time on the 1st of each month.  That way, the kids won't be overwhelmed by 12 pages at once and it will help them learn the months of the year!

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Print out the templates of choice (see the bottom of the page for the links to the templates).  If using a black and white printer, you can print the "Blank Calendar Pages" on coloured construction paper.
• Each month is a separate 7.5 inch x 10 inch template.  Therefore, to print a whole year it will take 12 pages (plus Pokemon Pages to glue on if you go that route).

Options:

• Blank Calendar Pages: 
  • Print each month which has room for a pokemon in the right hand corner but is not pre-printed.
  • Print the Pokemon Pages that go with it.
  • Colour (as necessary) and cut the pokemon from the pokemon pages.
  • Glue the pokemon onto the calendar pages.
  • You could also glue a few photos of the "pokemon master" (child) to some of the months instead of the pokemon for a bit of variety.
  • You get to chose which pokemon go on which months!
  • Pokemon Calendar Pages: 
    • has the pokemon already on the month.
    • The downside is that you're stuck with the pokemon I've picked for the month.
    • The upside is that it takes less time.

• Mix and Match:
  • To get the best of both worlds, there's nothing preventing you from printing the Pokemon Calendar Pages that you like and the Blank Calendar Pages/Pokemon Pages for the months you want to create yourself.

• Trim the Calendar pages as desired (this isn't necessary, but you may wish to do it if it isn't quite centered on the page.  Ripping along a ruler works well for giving a straight edge.
• Once your calendar is complete you can hang it on the wall or cork board using a push pin.  Tear off each month as it's complete.
• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
  • Sometimes it may say "No pages available to print".
  • This happens with some browsers and means that you've printed or print previewed once already.
  • If you get this message, hit RELOAD or REFRESH on your browser and try printing again.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
