Clear vision will always provide a sense of direction. So whether you are 3 or 63, a vision board can set you on track for accomplishing your goals for the upcoming year or years to come. And kids can learn this at an early age. So, today I’m sharing How to Create Vision Boards With Kids.
You can begin this activity by teaching your kids about what it means to have vision. Then about the purpose of a vision board. Here is an example of what you can say.
When we think of vision, we think mostly about what we can see with our two eyes. But when creating a vision board, vision refers to planning or thinking about the future. About what you would like to do in the future and/or how you would like to see yourself. Also about what you aspire to do or what would you like to achieve and/or accomplish.
How to Create Vision Boards With Kids
There isn’t a right or a wrong way of doing these. So for our kids, I chose the following three (3) categories for things to look for to add to their vision board for one (1) year.
In order to keep things simple for them. I chose these three (3) categories: Spiritual, Personal, and Educational.
Spiritual: This is something that they would like to accomplish spiritually speaking in their life. Read the bible, daily devotional, pray, etc. It could also include something related to serving others.
Personal: Learn a new skill. For example: an instrument or a new program. Our oldest wants to cook some family dinners. Whoo hoo :)!
Educational: This could be anything from increasing their grades to reading more books or exploring more of a class subject like History.
Now gather materials below and let the creating begin. Don’t forget to make it fun!
Materials: Glue or Tape, Magazines, Books, Printouts, Photos, Scrapbooking paper, Construction paper, scissors.
Let me know how your vision boards turn out!
