For the past four years, vinyl stickers have been a huge hit in my classroom. Not only are they versatile but also an affordable option for rewarding your students. With a vast array of designs and themes to choose from, you’ll easily find stickers that resonate with your students’ interests. Whether it’s superheroes, animals, or motivational quotes, these stickers offer a unique opportunity for personalization. Students can use them to jazz up their notebooks, folders, water bottles, or even laptops. However, do exercise caution, as some packs may contain inappropriate stickers. It’s a good idea to sort through them before allowing students to make their selections. I recommend grabbing a binder and some baseball card sleeves to neatly display them!
Croc charms have become a sensation for their ability to add a dash of personal flair to Crocs or similar footwear. These charms come in an array of vibrant colors and whimsical shapes, allowing students to express their individuality through their shoes. As a classroom reward, croc charms are a big hit, especially among elementary and middle school students. They’ll eagerly collect and trade these charming tokens, making them a fun and highly coveted incentive.
Believe it or not, candy remains an enduring favorite among students. Taki’s, in particular, have my students going wild, so keep a generous bag on hand for special occasions! Jolly Ranchers and airheads are also perennially popular choices. Jolly Ranchers are fantastic because they’re gelatin-free, and airheads just seem to have an irresistible appeal to kids.
Last year, I made a delightful discovery – some of my students are massive fans of those multi-color pens reminiscent of our school days. Amazon has a fantastic pack of 22, perfect for satisfying your students’ love for colorful writing tools.
Mini Rubik’s cubes aren’t just entertaining; they also provide a mental workout. They’re fantastic rewards for students who enjoy a cognitive challenge. These cubes are particularly effective for older students as they stimulate problem-solving skills and critical thinking. Consider offering these as rewards for exceptional performance on quizzes, tests, or complex classroom assignments.
Remember, the key to a successful rewards system is consistency and fairness. Ensure that every student has the opportunity to earn and enjoy these incentives. Happy teaching and rewarding!
