Purchase 3 dry-erase calendar boards. Fill out three months at a time; the current month, and the next two. Write in dates of all activities. You can use color coded markers for each family member, if you wish. Hang the three boards on the wall, with the current month on top, the other two below. Now you will always have a place to put current and future events.
Of course, at the end of the current month, simply move up the next two on the wall, and make a new one for the next month. I couldn't believe how easy this looked and can't wait to get mine up. Gone will be the calendars for each activity, etc. Everything in one place!

Wish I'd thought of this method when I was tracking activities (sports, choir and drama) for 5 teenagers!
I like the color-coding idea, and I'd add that each person should be responsible for marking their own activities. Include pertinent info like time, of course.
Example: Friday, December 20, HS holiday concert. Kids arr 6:30 PM." Or, Saturday, April 14, "Dustin track meet Tecumseh, 9:30 AM." Or, "Jess vocal competition Middle School, 11:00 AM." Family stuff in one color, Dustin's another (like red,) Jess's another (like purple.) Use whatever amount of detail works and/or will fit.

Cool idea if you have the wall space. You can also buy the dry erase calendar sheets which would stay up easier possibly.
