Questions: What do you want to know about
the new place where you'll live? Make a list of questions. Talk to your
parent(s) about good ways to find the answers.
|
|
|
Address Book: Who are you best pals—the
ones you want to stay friends with after you move? Make a list and get each
one's phone number and e-mail address.

Farewells: What VIPs (that's
Very Important People) do you want to say good-bye to before you leave? Your
babysitter? Your dentist? Your favorite neighbor down the road? Make your list
of VIPs and show it to your parent(s). Some people you can call or e-mail. Some
you can give a good-bye hug! |
|
|
Last Visits: Think of your
favorite places (like the park and the ice cream store) that you want to visit
one more time before you move. If it's a long list, choose your top three. Talk
to your parent(s) about when you can go.
|
|
|
New Room: Draw a plan for a
super-cool bedroom in your new home. Think about the colors you want and where
to put your bed. |
|
|
|
Packing: Sorting time! Moving
is a good reason to get rid of things you don't want anymore. Go through your
toys and games and put them into three groups:
• Things you want to take with you to the new home.
• Things to toss out (broken toys and games with missing pieces).
• Things you don't want but could be given away to other kids.
|
|
|
What Else?: What else can you
do to help with all the sorting and packing that needs to be done? Ask your
parent. Then put a checkmark here for each job you finish. The more you have,
the more proud you should be! |
|
|
Your Stuff: Design your own
personal "seal" for marking your boxes as PROPERTY OF YOU! As your belongings
are packed, draw your seal on the outside of each box. |
|
|
First Night: Your first night
in your new home is special. What do you want to have with you? Your favorite
pajamas? Your cozy slippers? The photo that's always next to your bed? Choose a
few things and ensure these items are packed in your suitcase or backpack.
|
|
|
Entertainment: Take some
things to do on the airplane or in the car on the way to the new home, like
books, games, your CD player and CDs.
|
|
|
|
New Info: You've got a new address! Don't
forget to memorize it and your new phone number.
|
|
|
New Room: Remember your plans
for a super-cool bedroom? Time to work with your parent(s) and put them into
action.
|
|
|
Tour Guide: Be the family tour
guide. Make a list of things you want to see, do and look for in your new
community. Choose the top three and talk to your parent(s) about when the tour
can begin.
|
|
|
Say Hello: Send an e-mail to
your old friends. Tell them all about your new home and include a really great
discovery about your new community.
|
|
|
Favorites: Start some "I like"
lists. Write down things you like about:
• Your new home
• Your new school
• Your new community
The longer these lists get, the more settled you'll be in your new home!
