Punch cards, coupons, and pairing cards...Oh my!

Last year I handed out "bucks" for good behavior and then had prizes of different values that they could "buy" with their bucks. This year I wanted something easier, so I decided to go with a punch-card system. I got a couple of cute scrapbook punch shapes and I just carry it around and punch their cards for good behavior throughout the day! It's easier for me and less for them to keep up with. Plus there is no stealing other peoples' bucks.

I also wanted to make my prizes easier and cheaper, so I made a set of coupons that all "cost" one punch card. Once their card is full, they can trade it for any coupon of their choice to use whenever they choose. I am loving this system!

Another thing that has helped me with classroom management so far this year are these sets of pairing cards. They make grouping my students into groups of 3 and groups of 4 easy and fun!
