Brighten Up Your Year With a Goal Setting Craft!
This student goal-setting craftivity is best used as a beginning-of-year social-emotional learning lesson. Encourage your students to set attainable goals and begin their new school year with a fun lightbulb-themed goal-setting craft.
With this template, students will identify their top goals for the new school year and write about them. Then they will create an awesome 3-D Lightbulb to highlight how they plan to have a ‘BRIGHT’ year!
Create a Fun Back-to-School Display for Your Ceiling!
We have created two easy-to-use templates to create this display, depending on how much room you have to display student work. In your download, you will find a full-page version of the template as well as a modified version that uses less paper and takes up a smaller amount of space. Use this activity to create an amazing back-to-school classroom display by threading a piece of twine or yarn up through the center of the 3D lightbulb and hanging it from your ceiling.
To create your 3-D goal-setting lightbulbs, students will
- Complete the writing prompts on each light bulb template.
- Cut out the templates and fold each in half vertically.
- Open up the lightbulb and glue one half of the back to one half of the back of another lightbulb.
- Repeat with the other templates to complete your 3D light bulb!
- Thread string or twine up through the center of the 3D bulb and hang from your ceiling!
