Do some of your students work too fast! Then they might deserve a Speeding Tickets. Hand out these “tickets” if your students are rushing through their work. I laminate them and hand them out as needed. When the “perp” has shown that they did a more careful job on their work, they turn it in along with their ticket.

Simply print out the adorable kid-friendly cards, cut them out, toss them in a baggy and you’re good to go! These adorable cards present pairs of opposites. The pictures provide clues to the word meanings in case your early readers need help. You will only need to print a few sets if you plan on using these in centers. OR you can print a class set and have students cut them out and glue onto construction paper- I might try that next year instead of the center (which my kids loved!).
