Caddo Fed After Hours

 

Tuesday Teacher Tip

To reward positive behavior, I implement a game we play every two weeks.  It is called “TICKET TIME”.  The students ABSOLUTELY love it!  After two week, if no student has been written up for ANY infraction, dress code, tardy, etc.) then the student gets to participate in TICKE TIME.  I use a double roll of tickets.  I place the tickets in two jars; the students draw from one jar and I draw the matching ticket from the other jar.  If I draw the ticket a student has, then he/she can come and pick a prize from a buffet of prizes!!  I usually have three to five gifts ranging from …bonus points, homework pass, STAR Points (SWBS), candy, food, flash drives, restaurant gift certificates, etc.  It is a very inexpensive way to reward positive behavior.  Restaurants within the community are great participants when told the reason for the game.  Also, flash drives can be bought at Wal-Mart for $5.00.  We do it on Friday at the end of the hour and they cannot wait.  It really helps motivate those who have been written up to behave for the next drawing, especially when money is the prize. 

 

Yes, even high school students can be motivated!!!
