2024 - 25 Diary Activities | Life Skills for Special Education

Are you looking for engaging life skills activities to use with your students? If so, this 2024 – 25 diary activity is the perfect addition to your life skills activities.

These activities work great alongside a physical 2024-25 diary. The great thing is – you can use this year after year! It doesn’t matter when the dates are. Because if you build these up over the years, your students will be able to go and find the correct diary to go with their worksheet/task cards, adding to their life skills they’ll be working on.

What’s Included?

Instructions.
Information to fill in your 2024-25 diary.
10 worksheets for students to fill in.
Alternative task cards for students to use with a dry-wipe pen.
Worksheet answer keys.
Task card answer keys.

Instructions

First, you need to follow the information on pages 2-3 of this document to fill in your 2024 diary. This includes the personal details, monthly dates, contacts etc.
If you want to use this in reverse for higher ability students, you can give them pages 2-3 to follow to fill in their own 2024-25 diary.
Pages 4-13 of this document contains worksheets for your students to fill in. They need to answer the questions by finding the corresponding information in the diary. An answer key has been provided in a separate document for you.
If you would rather your students work on task cards instead of worksheets, simply print out pages 14-27, cut out and laminate each of the individual task cards then hand out to your students. Students can fill in the answers by using dry-wipe pens. An answer key has been provided in a separate document for you.

You will need to purchase a 2024-25 diary for this activity.
