Becoming a Goal-Setting Superstar is like being the captain of your own ship! This worksheet will help you create a map to reach your treasure. Follow the steps below to take a big dream and turn it into a real plan you can follow to success.

Part 1: What's Your Big Goal?

Think about something you really want to achieve. It could be learning a new skill, getting better at a hobby, improving in a school subject, or building a good habit. Write down your big goal idea in the box below.

My Goal Idea:


Part 2: Make Your Goal S.M.A.R.T.

The best goals are S.M.A.R.T. goals! This helps make your goal super clear and easy to follow. Let's break down the goal you wrote above.

  • S - Specific: What exactly do you want to do? Be as clear as possible. (Instead of "get better at drawing," try "learn to draw a realistic-looking cat.")

  • M - Measurable: How will you know when you've reached your goal? How can you track your progress? (Example: "I will score at least 8 out of 10 on my next spelling test.")

  • A - Achievable: Is this goal realistic for you right now? You can dream big, but make sure the goal is something you can actually accomplish with effort.

  • R - Relevant: Why is this goal important to YOU? Does it excite you and match your interests?

  • T - Time-bound: When do you want to achieve this goal? Setting a deadline keeps you motivated. (Example: "by the end of this month," or "by my birthday.")

Part 3: What Are Your Action Steps?

A big goal is just a bunch of small steps. What are the first few things you need to do to get started? List at least three steps below.

Answer Key (Example)

Since your goals are personal, there are no "wrong" answers! This is just an example to show you how one person might fill out the worksheet.

Part 1: What's Your Big Goal?

My Goal Idea: I want to build a cool Lego spaceship.

Part 2: Make Your Goal S.M.A.R.T.

  • S - Specific:

    I will build the Lego Star Wars X-Wing set (#75301) completely by myself, following the instructions.

  • M - Measurable:

    I will know I'm done when the spaceship is 100% complete and looks exactly like the picture on the box. All pieces will be used.

  • A - Achievable:

    Yes, I have the Lego set and have built smaller sets before. I can ask for help if I get really stuck on a step.

  • R - Relevant:

    This is important to me because I love Star Wars and I feel proud when I finish a challenging building project.

  • T - Time-bound:

    I will have it finished by the end of this weekend.

Part 3: What Are Your Action Steps?

Step 1:

Open the box and sort all the Lego pieces by color to make them easier to find.

Step 2:

Work through Book 1 of the instructions on Saturday morning.

Step 3:

Finish Book 2 of the instructions on Sunday afternoon.

Step 4 (Bonus!):

Find a cool spot on my shelf to display the finished spaceship.

Part 4: Plan for Roadblocks

A possible roadblock:

I might get frustrated if I can't find a piece or if a part keeps falling off.

My plan to overcome it:

If I get frustrated, I will take a 10-minute break, have a snack, and then come back and look at the step again carefully.
