Family weekly planner
A column per person rather than one shared list, because the thing that actually goes wrong in a household week is two people assuming the other had it.

A column per person
A single shared list hides ownership, and ownership is what a household calendar is actually for. Who is doing the pickup, who is out on Thursday, whose appointment is at two.
Giving each person a column makes the collisions visible before they happen: two people needing the car, an evening that already has three things in it, a week where one person is carrying everything.
Where to put it
Somewhere everybody passes, which in most houses is the kitchen. A planner in a drawer answers no questions.
Letter and A4 are the right sizes here because it needs to be readable from a few steps away. The files are ink-light by design, with rules at 20% grey rather than black, so printing a fresh one every week costs very little.
What to leave off
Anything that belongs to one person only. A shared board that accumulates individual to-dos stops being scannable within a fortnight, and once it is not scannable it is not consulted.
Keep it to things that affect somebody else: times, transport, meals, and anything where two people need to agree.
