low cost rewards

[njw]

Give me your best little to no cost rewards for elementary students.  I'm grade 5.

I have all the basics (homework pass, lunch with teacher, extra recess, etc.)  I need some new fresh ideas.


We are a PBIS school so we work off a reward/earned sticker systems...which I kinda hate, but that's another post.

If you have chairs instead of desks you can trade chairs with the top who ever for the day.

If the class average is ____% on a test then you have to do homework instead of them.

You can do an afternoon of playing kahoot, cycling through all the subjects, as a behavior reward (that is both fun and educational.)

Have you asked the students what they would like?

My fifth graders really like passes for the following: trade seats for the day, teacher desk (work at my desk for a class period), teacher chair, choose a brain break, choose a dance party song, teacher assistant, free choice math game time, choose a partner for a project/activity, +3 points on a test or quiz, and $1 for the school store.

I will.  We don't go back until the 31st.  Often, they always want food rewards and movies/shows I can't show them so I like to have some suggestions so they know what is reasonable and what isn't.

I teach HS but just made up a bunch of "coupons" yesterday--rewards for things like winning a review game or what have you.

Some other ones I did:
-Free late HW pass (It is usually half off for a late assignment, but this allows them to turn it in late for full credit)
-Hat pass (Student can wear a hat in my class, which is not usually allowed in the dress code)
-Bring a snack to class one day
-10 minutes of down time during work time (Can take 10 min to put head down, listen to music, play an online game, etc during work time on an assignment)
-Comfy couch pass (During silent work time, student can go work on the comfy couches in the library)
