Happy New Year 2025!
Let’s face it, the days leading up to winter break, and the first days back in January, are hectic. It can be difficult keeping students engaged. What if you had some activities that not only get students working, but also give you a poster to create a bulletin board?
Below you’ll see some activities that have students reflect on 2024 and create goals for 2025. There’s also a really fun collaborative coloring poster. Students work together to create a large poster that can be your bulletin board for the new year!

End of 2024 and Happy New Year 2025 Goals Activities
- What A Year It Was! – Students fill out memories of 2024 on 2 pages.
- Pennants – Students brainstorm 4 goals for the upcoming year.
- A Word to Describe Me in 2025 – Students brainstorm a word they want to describe themselves for the upcoming year and why they chose it.
- Football – Students choose one of their four goals to complete the sentence on the football.
THIS RESOURCE WILL BE UPDATED EACH YEAR TO SHOW THE NEXT YEAR.
This New Year’s collaborative coloring poster is perfect for your winter-themed bulletin board!
Students practice rounding to the nearest 100 and use the code to color one of 25 blocks. All 25 blocks make a large poster that is 30 x 30 inches!
Build a positive classroom community as students complete the blocks and put the poster together. The end result will look great on your bulletin board where you showcase your students’ math and writing skills!
