fun calendars

Do you like to draw and decorate? Well I have the perfect activity for you! Today we are going to learn about a continuous schedule. This means that consequences happen every time a behavior happens. A consequence doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, it is just a response to what you do.

For example, if you need to do the dishes every night, but have a hard time making it a habit, you might want to make a continuous schedule- every night think of a reward for doing the dishes. If you want your consequence to be negative, you would take something away. Perhaps you wouldn't be allowed to play video games for the night.

We are going to make a really fun calendar for you for this month. You get to decorate it however you want, but it will be your continuous schedule. It will help you to keep track of what good behaviors you are accomplishing!

Here are your instructions:

1. First, gather all of the supplies you might need to decorate your calendar (paper, markers, stickers)
2. Decide on a goal and a good/bad consequence. Write your goal and consequence on one piece of paper. This paper will go right next to your calendar to remind you of what you are working for!
3. Start drawing your calendar. It might help to find a blank copy of a calendar online. Or you can draw lines using a ruler. Be sure to write in the days of the week.
4. Decorate your calendar so you are excited to use it!
5. Draw an X through each day that you accomplish your goal and gave yourself a good or bad consequence.

Good luck with your goals!
