New Year goal setting disco ball January writing crafts KS2

Help your pupils set their goals for the New Year by making these folding or spinner disco balls! Both activities have the same goal-setting outcome, so just get kids to pick which they'd prefer to make. **Why do this activity?** * Hands-on and low-prep. * Students start the new year with a positive and intentional mindset. * A fun alternative to a worksheet. * Ideal for classroom displays * Encourages meaningful discussion. * Need a sub idea? These templates can be used with multiple age groups. **The spinner templates** * Option 1: Colour the top of the template (the disco ball), write 4 New Year goals on the bottom part, cut and assemble. * Option 2: As above but with 5 goals. * Option 3: As above but with 6 goals. **The accordion templates** There is a selection of templates to choose from. * Template 1: 4 boxes for goals, with 3 writing lines per box. * Template 2: 4 boxes for goals, with 2 writing lines per box. * Template 3: 4 boxes with writing lines and a picture space in each box * Template 4: 6 boxes for goals, with 2 writing lines per box. For templates 1-4, use the disco ball options with the message 'My 2026 Goals’ or ‘New Year Goals’. * Template 5: 4 boxes with a New Year writing prompt in each one. * Template 6: 6 boxes with a New Year writing prompt in each one. **Is the resource editable?** The PDFs are not editable with the exception of the prompts on accordion templates 5 and 6. On these templates only, you can type in the text boxes. To write in the boxes, make sure the PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) and not in your device’s preview mode. US and UK versions of all files are included.
