Materials needed
1. A copy of the worksheets and activities for each student.
2. Smarties candy (2 rolls per student)
3. Timer
Students can say, write, or draw where appropriate.
Learning Plan Who Time
Introduce and discuss the goal-setting acronym, SMART. Teacher 10-15
a. Specific: Decide exactly what it is you want to accomplish, learn, or
Students
do, and express it in specific terms.
b. Measurable: How will you know when you’ve accomplished your
goal? Figure out a way to measure your success.
Opening c. Attainable: Set yourself up for success; reach high, but not impossibly
high.
d. Realistic: State what results can be achieved realistically given
available skills, knowledge, and resources.
e. Time-Bound: Set a target completion date. Milestone dates along the
way can also be useful.
f. After explaining the acronym show the following video. NOTE: The
video says the A is for “agreed upon.” Explain to students that “agreed upon”
works more in a business world where many groups are working together but
for •individual or small groups the R is for realistic.

Simulation (Role Play) Students 30
‘ Explain the task to students: They will try to stack as many Smarties candies as possible in one vertical Teacher minutes
column, using only one hand, in one minute.
‘ The exercise is about goal setting, so they need to set a goal before they stack.
‘ Distribute the handout and tell them only the FIRST rule.
‘ Candy stacks must be standing 5 seconds after the buzzer to count.
‘ After everyone has set a goal for Round 1, distribute the Smarties (2 rolls per person) and ask everyone
Work to get ready. Remember—one column, one hand, one minute.
Session ‘ Say “go” and start the timer. As they stack, remind them of the rules if necessary.
‘ After the buzzer sounds, count 5 additional seconds out loud (scoring rule #1).
‘ NOW, tell everyone the rest of the rules.
‘ If the goal is NOT reached, count 5 points for each candy stacked.
‘ If the goal IS reached, count 10 points for each candy stacked, up to the goal. Add 5 bonus
points for each additional candy stacked over the goal.
‘ With these scoring rules in mind, have students calculate their scores and record them on the
record sheet.
‘ Determine who stacked the most and who had the highest score (not always the same person).
Discuss any unusual approaches you or others observed.
‘ Ask participants to set and record a new goal for the second round, using what they learned in
Round 1 to make a better estimate.
‘ Proceed with Round 2, repeating the process explained above.
‘ When it is time for Round 3 have students record their goal. After they have recorded their
goals, and just before you start the time, announce that in Round 3, they must stack with their
non-dominant hand.
‘ Proceed with Round 3, repeating the process explained above.

1. Discuss the activity: Student 5 minutes

How did your goals and accuracy change between
rounds? Why? What environmental influences came
into play? How did you respond to these? iii. Which
was your best round? iv. What motivated you?
