How to teach the Goal Setting Process

Every year I find myself trying to figure out a good way to show students how to set goals, why it's important to do so, and how tracking the goals fits into all this. Oh and did I mention I am trying to do this with Kindergarten through fifth graders?!! It's seemingly impossible. Or so I thought. I THINK I have found a way to do this without totally confusing them, and make it entertaining as well! It's going to require you to look a little silly, so be warned!

Click HERE for the complete lesson plan I developed to help teach Goal Setting. I would LOVE to hear your feedback!

7 Habits Bingo

This is a fun game we play in Guidance to review the 7 Habits. I made up scenarios to go along with each habit, read the scenario and the children have to guess which habit it is. They then go to their board and cover that square. It's a great opportunity to see who knows their habits and also discuss the scenarios as we go along.
