Instructions

Gather materials: A piece of paper for each person, markers/ pens/ colored pencils for writing, drawing, and coloring
Make your “Goal Pizza”: On a sheet of paper, draw a big circle, then draw lines to section it up into four to six slices, like a pizza. Then, write different categories on the “crust” of each slice (see photo below). For example: draw, basketball, reading, friends, family, piano. Underneath the category, write down a goal for it. For example, “I want to get to make better grades.”
Create the “toppings” for your Goal Pizza: Draw three of your favorite toppings on each slice of pizza, making them big enough to write on. Then, write your answer to the three W’s on each one: Who can help?,
What do I need to do?, and
When?
Decide where your “oven” is: Put your pizza somewhere you can see it and check it often. This will be your oven! Decide how long your pizza will need to bake to reach your goals, and write that on your sheet of paper.
Celebrate! When your pizza is fully baked, have a celebration (like a pizza party!)
