Resolutions and Dreams - New Year Reading Activity

Start the New Year with an activity that’s as inspiring as a fresh to-do list (but way more fun). Resolutions and Dreams gets students thinking about their goals, big ideas, and maybe even that one thing they’ve been avoiding, like cleaning their desk. This reading activity is equal parts educational and creative, making it a perfect addition to your classroom or family fun time.

What’s Included:

1. Comprehension Questions: Two simple questions to make sure they’re actually paying attention (and not just daydreaming about recess).

2. Match the Words: Match words to their meanings, because knowing what “aspire” means is half the battle.

3. Grammar Fill-in-the-Blanks: A fill-in-the-blanks challenge that’s way more satisfying than a crossword.

4. Gap Filling: Complete sentences that help tie everything together, like duct tape for thoughts.

5. Drawing Activity: Bring dreams to life with a doodle, whether it’s climbing a mountain or finally getting their dog to do a trick.

Why It’s Great:

• Encourages Big Thinking: Helps students set goals in a way that feels achievable.

• Builds Vocabulary: Learn new words to impress everyone at the next family dinner.

• Makes Grammar Fun: Yes, really.

• Fuels Creativity: Turn ideas into art, one crayon at a time.

Let’s make resolutions that stick, at least until February!

Enjoy!
