“Goal Blocks” Student Goal-Setting, New Year’s Resolutions
Goal Blocks is a meaningful and memorable goal-setting activity for students (with eye-popping display options!), perfect for setting New Year’s resolutions or for a back to school activity at the beginning of the year. Students use the letters of the word “GOAL” to break down the goal-setting process: G represents the Guts of the goal, which includes writing a goal statement, setting a standard for success, and setting a time frame. O represents the Obstacles that stand in the way of reaching their goal. A represents three Action Steps students plan to help move toward their goal. L represents Looking Ahead to life afterward, where students visualize how they will feel upon reaching their goal and think about what they might strive for next. A goal-planning booklet guides students through each part. Then students create a stunning 2-D or 3-D display to capture their goals, literally filling the large G-O-A-L block letters with their goal information. Detailed visual guides (with photos!) are included to help put together the final displays. Follow-up activities and ideas are also included, like Goal Update Booklets and Goal-Partner-Get-Togethers, to help students follow through with working toward their goals and to give them peer accountability.
