Classroom reward cards to encourage even the most challenging of behaviors
These ‘you did good’ cards are perfect for identifying good behavior, actions and words in your students.
All students and teachers love this rewards system as it’s easy to implement. High school, middle school and elementary school students all found this an engaging way to monitor and work towards more engaging behaviours and a reward.
Set up a system in your classroom where each student has a card with their name on and each time, they do something good you can clip a circle with your hole punch!
Just like a coffee card when its all clipped, they get access to a prize box or one of our caught being good reward cards.
Each card has 30 reward circles meaning they can be punched liberally before a reward is due!
The word ‘behavior’ is intentionally not used so that all students can achieve, even if it is a kind or helpful word, deed or piece of work. Recognizing the good in even the most challenging of students is where we build connections and trust.
