Create Your “My Big Plans” Chart

Brainstorm some big plans/things you want to try.

Write a title for your chart: [Name]’s Big Plans.

List each of your plans.

Decorate your chart.

Display your chart for a daily reminder of your goals and plans.

Play!

Choose one plan from your chart and get started!

  • Where do you need to go to accomplish this goal?
  • Is there anything or anyone you need to bring with you?
  • Visualize yourself achieving your goal. 
  • What is the very first step you will take?

Remember: big plans are reached one tiny step at a time.

  • Celebrate every step, big or small, by marking your progress on your chart with stickers, stars, or drawings.

Return to your chart often to tackle a plan or take on a new challenge!

Keep going! You can do it!

associated activities are amazing!
"They not only help my grandson see the relationship between an exciting subject and the real-world principles involved, but they also strongly personalize the experience for him. He learns that reading is fun, and that learning satisfies his natural curiosity."

Looking forward to gifting these again!
"I have always gifted books at birthdays and these felt like a natural extension of the gifts I already give. It's nice to also be able to give my friends something that comes with additional activities they may not have thought to do."
