What is plan?

A plan is like a map you draw before going on a treasure hunt, it shows where you want to go and how you’ll get there.

Imagine you want to build a treehouse with your best friend. You might say, “Let’s start by gathering wood,” then “We’ll nail the boards together,” and finally, “Let’s put the roof on.” That’s a plan, it helps you know what to do next, so you don’t get confused or lost.

What a Plan Looks Like

Sometimes a plan is just in your head. Other times, it can be something you write down or even draw like a picture. For example, if you're making a sandwich, your plan might be: First, take out the bread, then add peanut butter and jelly, and finally press it together.

Why Plans Are Helpful

Plans help you remember what to do, just like how a list helps you remember which toys to bring on a trip. When you have a plan, it's easier to finish your work or reach your goal because you know the steps to follow.

So whether you're building a treehouse, making a sandwich, or going on a treasure hunt, having a plan makes everything more fun and easier! A plan is like a map you draw before going on a treasure hunt, it shows where you want to go and how you’ll get there.
