Can I recreate family bell with other automations?

I've just come across videos of the previous family Bell app being used to help children move through routines in the mornings. I'm absolutely devastated to see that it's no longer supported and I don't have the option in my Google account to create any new family bells. Is anyone aware of any way to recreate the type of experience where you move through one task into another by pressing a button on the Google home so where children can be reminded eat breakfast, they press the button and it moves to the next one get dressed, press the button and so on and so on?

Hi Jess1993,

Thanks for reaching out to our community.
I understand how upsetting it must be to discover that Google officially discontinued the wonderful functionality of the original Family Bell app. I apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience this news brings. I appreciate you for reaching out to find a way to recreate a similar experience within your Google account. To help you to achieve a comparable Google Family Bell function, I recommend creating routines in your Google Home app. Routines are a series of actions for your home devices that help you and your household automate tasks throughout the day. Please check out this Google Nest Help Center article to learn more: Create and manage routines in Google Home.
You are welcome to keep us posted if you have more questions.
 
Best regards,
Virna
