** Materials: Two small baskets-bowls-cups... Label one container REMOVE and one container ADD 50 white poker chips ** I fill the REMOVE basket with 50 poker chips. The chips are each labeled with one of the following class treats: candy bar, pop, extra recess, 30 minutes playtime, video, (english muffin)pizza, popcorn... (Use whatever motivations you area willing to give!) ** Each time our 4th graders come in from recess, they can "earn a chip" for being QUIET in the hallway, and can earn a chip for coming into the classroom and sitting quietly. Also- I give out chips for special behaviors- such as working orderly during an activity, or really paying attention during a difficult math lesson. Each earned chip is taken FROM the REMOVE basket, and put into the ADD basket. ** Of course- I SOMETIMES have to remove a chip or two- if the class is unruly!!!(Mean teacher!) ** When there are about 10 chips left, I let the kids know- just to add extra motivation. What ever is written on the final chip in the REMOVE basket, is the treat the whole class earned! ** Students love this! They really "remind" each other to be quiet in the hall, and come in quietly! The other 4th grade teacher and I will even stand in the hallway holding and waving the two chips!
