In the main lesson, you organized a spreadsheet to plan seasonal activities. In this extension
lesson, you will add a calendar for your seasonal activities to help you stay organized and
on time, lessening the chance that you forget and miss out on an activity you’ve planned.
To complete this lesson, you will create a new calendar with Google Calendar for your
seasonal activities. Using a new calendar makes your seasonal activities a different
color and stand out from other activities, events, or meetings you may already have added
to your full calendar. To begin, open your seasonal activities planner spreadsheet.
Next, open a new tab in your browser and open your Google Calendar.
Then, add a new calendar to your calendar application.
Give your new calendar a name.
And add a description.
Then, create the calendar.
To return to your full calendar, click “Settings.”
Change the color of your activities calendar. Choose a color you like.
Make sure the check box next to your new calendar is checked so your activities show up in your calendar.
Now, create an activity.
Choose the activities calendar you created.
Give your activity a title. Use your spreadsheet to help you with the details you’ll be adding.
Select the day your event happens. Add the times when it begins ....
And ends. And save your event.
Now you have a way to keep track of planned activities so you don’t miss out on a fun opportunity.
By creating a new calendar and adding a custom color, you have a clear way
of seeing everything in your full calendar that matters to you.
Now, it’s your turn:
Add a new calendar,
Name your calendar and give it a description,
Add a custom color for the new calendar,
And add a new activity to the calendar.
