8 • MODULE TEN: REACHING MY GOALS: ENERGIZERS, WARM-UPS AND RELAXATION

Session Two: My Goals

Objectives

At the end of the session, the children will learn to:

• Set realistic short and long-term goals and think
  of problems and solutions needed to reach these
  goals;


• Make choices carefully as they may change their
  future life path;


• Think and feel positively to find solutions and
  try again; and


• Be responsible so that children can impact their
  own and other’s lives in a positive way.

Key Points

Setting goals is a skill but it is more important to be

able to stick to them despite the obstacles or to

change them if they prove to be unhealthy. The

ability to find positive solutions and make good

choices is important. Young people need to

understand how far-reaching the consequences

may be. They also need to understand that we are

all interconnected; if we do not fulfill our

responsibilities, we will create problems for

ourselves as well as others.

Life Skills Learned

Time Required

Each activity lasts 45 to 60 minutes. This is a long
