Downloadable Activity: Get Organized (ZEST: Live It!)

The goal of this activity is to show how zest and enthusiasm are decreased by our lack of organization and the ability to maintain a sense of order. Energy is wasted when we spend our valuable time searching for items that we need. Frustration mounts and we lose our sense of adventure and excitement. In this activity, students will recognize the importance of organizing tasks and activities and how it relates to zest. 

This exercise is from Tamara Zentic's ZEST: Live It! Activity Guide and is recommended for grades 4-12.

Materials needed:

• Ankle and/or arm weights (a couple for example purposes)
• Paper
• Pencil
• Student copy of calendar template
• Colored pencils or markers
• Access to computers (optional)
• Boys Town Social Skill poster, "Organizing Tasks and Activities" (provided as a PDF in color)
