Turning over a New Leaf: New Years Resolution Activity

These New Year resources are the perfect tool to support children in setting positive goals for the year ahead and reflecting on the year gone by.
Let’s turn over a new leaf. Children can write down their new year resolution or goal for the year ahead on the leaf. Cut them out to create a large class display and refer back to them throughout the year to see how much progress has been made.
How could this resource be used?
- To support with setting positive goals and resolutions.
- To be used as a mindful colouring activity to encourage calmness and clear thinking.
