Lesson Plan

Goal Garden Plan

Students will identify and map one short-term and one long-term goal using a fun gardening metaphor, then reflect on small steps to nurture their ‘goal seeds’.

Introducing goal-setting with concrete, playful metaphors builds kindergarteners’ planning, perseverance, and self-awareness, laying a foundation for lifelong success.
