CityVille Back to School Goals: Everything you need to know

What better way to celebrate the launch of another school year in the real world than to... play CityVille on Facebook? Ok, so maybe I'm grasping at straws with that one, but Zynga has done it too! Just look at these new goals! There are four new goals to complete in all, in a Back to School series that will see you ultimately rewarded with a Football Field, among other prizes. Without further ado (as we all know there's homework to be done), here's a guide to finishing these four goals off.

Too Cool For School / Brain Food

    * Ask for 5 Pocket Protectors
    * Visit 10 Neighbors
    * Harvest 20 Wheat


The Pocket Protectors are earned through a general news post, rather than individual requests to friends. While you're waiting for those to arrive, you can plant your wheat, which takes a whopping 2.1 days to grow. For finishing this first goal, you'll receive just 35 XP.

Show & Tell

    * Ask for 8 Text Books
    * Collect from 20 Businesses
    * Collect from Burger Joint 4 Times


For this goal, it looks as though you can collect from the same Burger Joint four times in a row, or collect from four individual Burger Joints, so keep that in mind if you happen to have more than one in your town. For finishing this second goal, you'll receive 960 coins.

Study Hall of Fame

    * Upgrade a Library
    * Collect from any Library 2 Times
    * Have a Crossing Guard in your City


Back at the end of July, Zynga released the ability to upgrade your Library, and you can find our complete guide to doing so right here. For finishing this goal, you'll earn 480 Goods.

Playing Hooky

    * Have 2 Pairs of High Heels from the Designer Collection
    * Collect from Flower Kiosk 10 Times
    * Collect from Diner 8 Times


The High Heels are available from the Shoe Store, Handbag Store, Sunglasses Store or Watch Shop, so just keep supplying and collecting from those businesses and you should get lucky (if you're impatient, you can also ask your friends to send you some extras from their own collections). For finishing this final goal, you'll receive the Football Field, which is a 6x4 decorative item that gives you a 30% bonus to surrounding businesses and residences. It is currently only available through this goal series, so make sure to keep track of them if you are interested in adding one to your town.
