We reward students in our physical education classes with "Spartan Bucks". These are vouchers (designed to look like money, based on the school nickname), for hard work/effort in class. They come in increments of 5, 10, and 20, and can be redeemed for healthy snacks. We hand them out at our descretion, anytime we believe a student has earned one.
Examples:
100 = Gatorade
75 = Gatorade Chips
50 = Water
25 = Fruit Snacks
5 = Dum Dum Lollipop
We have found that the overall effort of our students has increased dramatically and we believe "Spartan Bucks" has something to do with it.
The bottom line is that most people (students included), respond to incentives. |
