How Do Children Set New Year’s Goals?

Young children understand goals best as short, positive sentences: I want to learn…, I will be kind by…, something new I want to try. Drawing first helps them plan what to write, and big writing lines help younger writers. A year in review sheet looks back first, so children can see what they have already achieved. The snowman and snowflake were drawn by Patrick Elliott in PowerPoint, using only shapes.

How to Use the Worksheets in Class

1. Choose your paper size above, download the ZIP and print the worksheet for your class.
2. Talk about the year ahead together and share a few example goals.
3. Ask the children to draw each goal first, then write about it on the lines.
4. Display the finished sheets, or keep them in a folder to look back on in June.
5. Use the goal tracker once a month to tick off progress.

Model one goal of your own first. Keep goals small and positive: “I will read every night” works better than “I will not be late”. Pair the year in review with the goals sheet for a two-day activity.

How to Print at the Right Size

1. Open the template in Word and press Ctrl + P (Cmd + P on a Mac).
2. Choose the paper size in the file name: A4 for UK and Australian sheets, US Letter for US sheets.
3. Set scaling to 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page.
4. Print one sheet and measure a row with a ruler before you print a class set.

Every sheet keeps a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) margin on all sides, so nothing is cut off on home inkjets, school laser printers or older printers with a wide edge.
