Keep/Try/Let Go
By New Year’s Day, a lot of families are caught between two impulses: Do nothing or start everything.
This play prompt lives in the middle reflective without being heavy, playful without being chaotic.
Play Prompt: “Keep / Try / Let Go”
You’ll need:
✔️Three small piles of paper (or just three areas on the table)
✔️Something to write with (or draw)
Label Them:
💖 Keep
💞 Try
💔 Let Go
Invite kids to add ideas in any form that fits their age:
  • words
  • drawings
  • symbols
  • objects from around the room
Examples:
  • “Keep reading together at night”
  • “Try learning a new game”
  • “Let go of yelling before breakfast”
There’s no correcting and no debating. This isn’t about goals or resolutions, it’s about noticing.
What I love about this prompt is that it gives kids a voice in the rhythm of the year ahead. It signals that change doesn’t have to be loud or drastic to be meaningful.
Sometimes the most powerful New Year moment isn’t a fresh start, it’s choosing what comes with you.
