Background:
While viewing public domain images for references, I found myself in awe of the beauty, precision, and uniqueness of these spectacular images. It seemed to be a shame that many of these timeless images would go unseen when they had so much to offer students and teachers. While there were many fantastic pictures available, most needed a variety of edits and touch-up work to be suited for reuse. I decided it would be worthwhile to restore and share my "Found Treasures" in a format that would be better suited for projects on TPT.

Pick and choose the reward cards that will work best for your students, and use these fun cards as tangible incentives. Two golden "grand prize" cards for you to determine-are included.
Suggested Use:
Place Rewards Cards in a "Rewards Bag or Rewards Box". Students can choose a reward when you "catch them" doing something good (behavior or academic). Remind students this happens sometimes when you observe them (not always!) and that rewards will not be given to students who do something they are supposed to then ask for a reward. Remember to pick and choose which rewards are appropriate for your students. For some rewards, make sure all involved teachers are aware if it affects them in any way (such as joining a class, 5 minutes late etc.) For extra durability and damage resistance, it is strongly recommended that cards are laminated before use (with the exception of quick-use and discard activities).
Use a points or token system to earn a choice Reward Card or choose a card from bag/box.
Use Rewards Cards as prizes in Study Group/Homework Club/After School games to make studying for a test more exciting for students. Let all participating students get a reward, but let the winners get to choose first.
Use Reward Cards as holiday/birthday gifts.

If using the Golden Grand Prize cards, decide what that prize is and how it is won. Make it special and distinguished from the other cards.
