Here is a fun classroom rewards game that will not cost you anything.
#1 Print out two sets of these sheets. We recommend one set on white paper, and one set on colored paper. (The contrast makes it easier to see, at a glance, how much progress has been made.)
#2 Cut apart the letters on the colored sheets and place them into a bag or jar.
#3 Cut apart the whole phrases on the white sheets (such as "movie day") and place them on the board. You might want to laminate these sheets first for durability.
#4 When a child does something extraordinarily well, that child gets to pull a letter from the jar and place it over a corresponding letter on the board.
#5 When a reward has been completely spelled, the class gets to do the reward.
Benefits: (1) Free for the teacher! (2) Students get credit for individual merit. (3) All students ultimately benefit, and therefore are predisposed to encourage their classmates to do well and earn letters.
Tip: Don't like a reward? Leave it out! You don't have to use all of them.
