Making Learning More Fun With Incentives!

Help me give my students incentives that will boost self-esteem, encourage positive behavior, and help motivate students. Small prizes/toys like fidget spinners, mini plushies, pencils, and slime will provide rewards and reinforce good behavior and encourage my learners.

My Project

No matter the age, kids love to earn and receive rewards. Classroom incentives are powerful tools and I would like to offer my students some incentives for their hard work all year. These incentives, prizes and rewards will encourage my students to attend class, participate more and encourage them to complete assignments and homework on time and make learning more fun.

Having these incentives, prizes like stickers, slime, fidget toys, and snacks increases classroom participation, encourages positive behavior, and motivates students to participate more and always try their best.

Students should be rewarded for their continued efforts to improve. By offering a variety of prizes, incentives, and rewards my students have something to work towards. Thank you so much for your help and support. Aloha and Mahalo from Hawaii.
