My Top 3 Goals for the New Year - New Year Writing Prompt

New year, new goals, and this prompt gives students the perfect opportunity to think about what they want to achieve (besides finally learning how to fold a fitted sheet). With both a writing and drawing component, students will reflect on their goals for the year ahead, all while getting creative and maybe even a little bit funny.

How it works:

1. Writing Prompt: Students will write down their top three goals for the new year. Whether it's mastering the art of procrastination or becoming a professional cat cuddler, there's no goal too big (or small) to dream about.

2. Drawing Prompt: After outlining their goals, students get to illustrate them. Can’t explain how you'll run a marathon? Draw it! Want to start a garden but can't keep a cactus alive? Draw that too!

Ways of Use:

• Goal Setting: A fun way to reflect on personal goals with a side of humor.

• Creative Writing: Let students express their hopes, dreams, and funniest aspirations.

• Art Integration: Bring those goals to life through drawings that match their ambitions.

• New Year’s Reflection: Great for the start of the year, with a positive and light-hearted twist.

Advantages:

• Makes goal-setting fun and approachable.

• Combines creative writing and art for a well-rounded activity.

• Encourages students to set realistic (and hilarious) goals.

• Promotes laughter, creativity, and classroom discussion.

This resource is the perfect way to kick off the new year, because who says goal-setting can’t be fun?
