Overview

Goal-setting skills in Grade 6 Health help students plan, track, and adjust behaviors that support healthy choices. This NHES-aligned lesson bundle uses three ready-to-print worksheets to guide students from setting goals to evaluating progress with clear, student-friendly steps.

Built for classroom routines, the activities support consistent practice and brief check-ins so learners can connect their goals to health outcomes over time.

What’s Included

• ✅ 6th Grade Health Worksheet | Setting Goals Aligned with NHES (PDF) – Students identify a health goal and define success criteria connected to NHES-aligned goal-setting.
• ✅ 6th Grade Health – Planning Strategies Worksheet (NHES Standards) (PDF) – Students select strategies, resources, and supports to turn their goals into an achievable plan.
• ✅ 6th Grade Health Worksheets | Monitoring Progress & Self-Assessment (PDF) – Students monitor progress, reflect on outcomes, and use self-assessment to improve next steps.

Skills & Standards

This lesson bundle supports the National Health Education Standards (NHES) by reinforcing goal-setting processes that strengthen health-enhancing decisions and self-management. Throughout the worksheets, students apply crosscutting concepts such as systems and relationships (how choices connect to outcomes) and patterns (what progress looks like over time). Learners engage with disciplinary core ideas related to health behavior change by practicing: setting a realistic goal, planning actionable strategies, and using feedback to adjust. Teacher modeling of effective goal statements, timelines, and progress check methods helps students internalize expectations. Students also use analytical reasoning to interpret evidence from their own monitoring (e.g., effort, consistency, barriers) and write evidence-based explanations for what worked, what didn’t, and what to try next.

Perfect For

• Teachers seeking structured instruction
• Sub plans
• Homework or review
• Intervention or centers
• Assessment preparation

How to Use

Use this as a multi-day lesson bundle: Day 1 focuses on goal-setting (worksheet 1), Day 2 guides planning strategies (worksheet 2), and Day 3 supports monitoring progress and self-assessment (worksheet 3). For fast pacing, you can assign one worksheet per day with a 5–10 minute check-in and a brief partner share. For centers or intervention, print one worksheet at a time and provide a small anchor chart with sentence stems (e.g., “My goal is…,” “I will use…,” “My progress shows…,” “Next, I will…”). For homework or review, consider collecting a short reflection from the monitoring page to reinforce accountability and readiness for upcoming health assessments.
