New Year's Financial Resolutions

About This Product

Here's a New Year's Resolution Activity with a twist: students are tasked with making financial resolutions for the upcoming year! Maybe they want to get their first part-time job to start to have their own money. Or maybe they want to spend less on eating out to save up for something big, like a gaming console. The opportunities are endless!

This product includes a one-page handout to get students thinking about why financial resolutions are important and how to make them.

Why make resolutions about money?

To think about the year as a whole

To reach goals you have

To keep yourself accountable

What kind of resolutions could you make?

Increase income (ex: get a job or more hours)

Save a certain amount each month for a big purchase

Start investing

Save some money for donations

Reduce expenses (ex: spend less on eating out)

Then each student gets their own resolution sheet where they explain their resolution, think of some baby steps towards it, and sign & date it to make it official.

Grades to Use With:

This product is suitable for many grades in the middle years (grades 7-11) or special education or life skills classes too! It makes an easy activity for that first week back after winter break, and it is a simple way to ease your students back into the routine of math class.
