Why a blank calendar
A blank calendar has the weekday names and the grid but no dates. You write in the month, the year and the numbers yourself. People use it when:
- they want to plan a month that has not been decided yet, such as a rotation or a schedule that will start "some Monday";
- they keep the same sheet for every month and photocopy it;
- a child is learning how a calendar is laid out. Writing the dates in, starting on the right weekday, teaches more than reading a finished one.
How the grid is set up
The page always prints six rows. That is the most any month can need: a 31-day month that starts on a Saturday (or a Sunday, on a Monday-first grid) spills into a sixth week. Five-row months leave the last row empty, which is a good place for notes.
There are no holidays on a blank calendar, because the holidays depend on the year. To print a dated month instead, switch Dates back to "Filled in" and pick the month and year, or use the printable monthly calendar.
The settings
- Week starts on. Sunday or Monday. The weekday names along the top follow your choice.
- Orientation. Landscape suits a desk or fridge; portrait suits a binder and leaves room for notes lines.
- Notes lines. Adds a ruled block under the grid.
Worked example: writing in March 2027
Print the blank page, then find the weekday of the 1st. March 1, 2027 is a Monday, so on a Sunday-first grid you write "1" in the second box of the top row and leave the Sunday box empty. Count across and down to 31, which lands on a Wednesday in the fifth row. The sixth row stays empty, which is useful space for notes or next month's first days.
If you picked a Monday start instead, March 1 goes in the very first box, and the month still fits in five rows. Write the month name and the year on the two lines at the top, and the page is ready to use.
Filling it in
Find the weekday the month starts on (the yearly calendar shows every month at a glance), write 1 in that column of the first row, and count across. Months have 31 days except April, June, September and November (30) and February (28, or 29 in a leap year). A year is a leap year when it divides by 4, except century years, which must divide by 400: 2000 was a leap year, 2100 will not be.
