About this countdown chart
A countdown chart turns waiting into something fun: a numbered box for each day until the big event, to cross off or colour each morning. Children love counting down to birthdays, holidays and trips, and adults use them for exams, weddings or a new baby.
Check the exact number of days with the days until calculator, then set the chart to match.
What’s on the page
- A header with counting down to, big day.

Tips
- Number boxes count down to 1, the day before the event.
- Cross off a box at the same time every day.

Frequently asked questions
How many days can the countdown have?
The chart has 30 boxes. For longer countdowns, print a monthly planner and cross off dates.
What paper size should I print on?
Choose A4 or US Letter before downloading, and print at 100% or “Actual size”. Portrait and landscape layouts are both available.
Can I remove the atifo.app line at the bottom?
Yes. Switch off “Show atifo.app credit” in the Look section and the PDF has no branding at all.
Can I fill in the countdown chart on my phone or tablet?
Yes. Switch on “Fillable PDF” before downloading and the PDF gets typing boxes and tick boxes you can use in most PDF apps. Or print it and use a pen.
Will it print well in black and white?
Yes. The layout uses light fills and clear lines that print cleanly in grey. Choose the “Grey” colour to save colour ink entirely.
