Celebrate New Year's 2027 by writing New Year’s resolutions and setting new goals with your students! These pre-planned minilessons, videos, and activities are the perfect activities for your first week back after the break. (This resource includes templates for 2027-2032.)

Students set new goals while learning the history of New Year’s celebrations and traditions, and the how and why of making resolutions. This high-engagement resource includes a teaching PowerPoint, and Google Slides presentation, plus a 5-day lesson plan. You’ll be ready to go your first week back with New Year's activities, videos, New Year’s reading passages with comprehension questions, a resolution writing craft, and a New Year’s quiz in both a paper and Google Forms format.

After the mini-lessons and videos, students are guided through writing their own resolutions and making a New Year’s party horn craft to write them inside. The resolution writing craft makes a perfect January bulletin board and the download even includes no-prep title lettering.
