This Personal Goal Setting Activity Packet is a complete, ready-to-use resource that empowers middle and high school students to reflect, plan, and take action on meaningful personal goals. With a variety of engaging activities, students go beyond surface-level goal setting by connecting their habits, values, identity, and future vision to the goals they create.
Students are guided through meaningful goal-setting using reflection questions, habit check-ins, SMART goal templates, and values-based planning tools. Each activity helps students take ownership of their growth—in school, in their relationships, and in their everyday choices. These goal setting activities are designed to build key SEL skills like self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision-making in a way that’s easy to follow and apply.
Whether you're launching a goal-setting unit, kicking off the school year, or helping students reset mid-semester, this packet offers multiple formats and entry points to meet students where they are and help them move forward with purpose.
Detailed sample responses are included to guide student reflection, model realistic personal goals, and support meaningful goal-setting discussions. These examples offer clear guidance on how to set, plan, and follow through on personal goals, making it easier for students to understand expectations and stay on track.
