Red Light, Green Light – Directions:

1. Line students up side by side at a starting point.

2. Stand across from them and call out commands:

“Green light” = they walk or run toward you.

“Red light” = they must stop and freeze immediately.

3. Anyone who moves on red light goes back to the starting line.

4. First to reach you wins!

Freeze Dance – Directions:

1. Play music and have students dance around the room.

2. Pause the music randomly.

3. When the music stops, students must freeze like statues.

Divide students into small groups (2–4 per group).

Give each group a handful of uncooked spaghetti and a set number of marshmallows (e.g., 20 sticks of spaghetti and 20 mini marshmallows).

Set a timer (10–15 minutes).

The goal: Build the tallest free-standing tower using only the materials provided.

When time is up, measure the towers. The tallest one that stands on its own wins!

Help students evaluate how they currently use their time and how to better prioritize responsibilities, self-care, and goals.

Materials:

Blank “24-Hour Day” time wheel or schedule grid (can be printed or drawn)

Pens/highlighters

Optional: sample daily responsibilities list (school, work, extracurriculars, meals, sleep, screen time, etc.)

Directions:

1. Step 1 – Time Tracking (Reality Check):
Ask students to fill in a 24-hour day chart with how they actually spend a typical weekday. Encourage them to be honest (including social media, texting, etc.).

2. Step 2 – Time Analysis:
In small groups or individually, students reflect:

What surprised you?

Where are you losing time?

Are your top goals reflected in how you spend your time?

3. Step 3 – Time Reallocation (Ideal Day):
On a second chart, students plan their ideal school day: how they would use their 24 hours to reflect their values, responsibilities, and wellness.

4. Step 4 – Share and Reflect:
Optional: Students can share in small groups or write a short reflection. Discuss strategies to manage time more effectively (to-do lists, planners, phone reminders, breaking tasks into chunks, etc.).
