You've done the same SMART goals & healthy habits lesson every year and you're looking for a way to spice it up!? THIS is your next goal-setting “New Year’s Resolution” lesson that students will be talking about for months.

It’s a hands-on, visual lesson where students build a habit web together as a class and learn how many repetitions it actually takes to form a habit. Then students play Habits Taboo, where they guess the most common New Year’s resolutions and dig deeper into how to make those goals a reality using not only SMART goals but also identity-based goals.
 
This lesson is heavily inspired by the book Atomic Habits and helps students use the most up-to-date research to make realistic, attainable goals for their growth. It’s relevant, fun, and will keep them talking about it throughout the school year.
 
Here's what's included:
21 editable Google Slides to guide the lesson
7-page worksheet for independent goal setting
2 classroom games that help visualize habit formation
Clear teacher instructions with NHES standard alignment
