Bizzyboard, we have had it in our house for a number of years. The most beautiful planning board I've ever seen! And not only am I happy with it, but so are our kids. The Bizzyboard planning board is used with us for the weekly planning, but also as a shopping list, memo pad and drawing pad by the children 😉 . The latter is not always convenient, of course, especially if there are already agreements. I usually agree that they can sign on Sunday before we plan the new week.

The Bizzyboard is magnetic, can be written on with a whiteboard marker and comes with a complete set with the nicest magnets. All kinds of different magnets with which you can move forward for the rest of your life. To indicate sports, to plan parties, dinners, to the dentist, the doctor, staying overnight, etcetera. Too many to mention really. I personally find it indispensable for a working mom with a busy family. You can see at a glance what needs to be done.
Each family member has his or her own column in which to indicate his or her activities for that week. In addition, there is also room to add a general column, which applies to everyone. The most useful (and most beautiful) is if you also stick magnets (attached) with the photos of the family members at the top. It is immediately clear which column belongs to whom. Not just for yourself, but especially for your children.
It's great for the kids to 'prepare' for the rest of the week on the weekend. In addition, during the week it is not only a reminder for us, but also for the children. Our youngest has a lot in her head herself, but my son's head is often full of other things. Working with the planning is especially important for him. He looks at the planning board himself and thus has a reminder for everything that is going to happen that day.
There is one more thing you could very well add. And that's dinner for the whole week. This is especially useful for children who have trouble eating and always want to know in advance what is being eaten. This way you avoid discussions. In addition, your child does not have to deal with disappointment every day, because vegetables are eaten, and no fries. It works, we have experienced that ourselves!

The biggest disadvantage of the Bizzyboard is that it is quite pricey. If you would like a planning board for your child, I advise you to first take a look at the planning boards of Geschijn, for example or possibly at Bol.com.
