Vision Board Projects for 2024: Easy and Free!

Here is a fun project to do with your students this January! My kids really loved putting these together and thinking about their goals for the year really sparked some great discussions.

Vision boards can be put together for free using Google Sheets, PowerPoint, or a similar program. Just prompt your students to write the year in the middle and choose four categories they want to focus on this year (ideas below!). They can then search for images online to match their goals.
