Bingo

So, I have a new obsession: Goals Bingo. Let me explain; I ran across this concept while reading Family Fun. Ironically we had recently had a FHE on the importance of goal setting and accomplishing. I have just been feeling lately the need to set goals and accomplish them so that I/we have a definite purpose/direction in our lives, we are not just letting each day go by, but we are constantly learning and growing in the direction that brings us to who we want to be. Hence, goal setting.
So, now that I have so eloquantly peaked your intrest in goals.... you might wonder what exactly is goals bingo. It is actually a quite simple (yet brilliant) idea. You take a Bingo card and list a goal in each square. As you accomplish the goals, you cross them off and when you get Bingo or blackout you get a reward.
We have tailored this idea to our own needs and our version of the card is here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pn4WdmcCP2gZ3Ayh1QuDHMQ&output=html
Our family is now using this idea on a regular basis. The first Monday of each month we will set aside some time in FHE to make up our new Bingo cards and talk about the goals we were able to accomplish the last month. We aren't placing huge goals in each box, they are more micro goals that will help us accomplish our bigger goals (it is a good idea to make your goals first and then see if they need to be broken down into micro-goals to make them easier to accomplish) Anyway, now I am pretty much babbling. I just think this is a fun idea and I excited to start on my goal accomplishing journey. (I am also excited for my rewards which consist of things like a new necklace, church shoes, a date with my husband, etc.)
