Behavior Management Motivators

   1.  Tried and true:  “I like how Henry is sitting quietly”    2.  Scoreboard:  Tallies for different groups, boys and girls, teacher vs. student, table groups.  I did this all last year and it was not even for a prize.  Kids love competition!    3.  Token economy:  Give the class a cotton ball or marble in a jar for when they are following the rules or getting their work done.    4.  Special Friend:  Have a special animal the student gets to sit with if they do an awesome job.  The special friend will only sit with a quiet friend.    5.  Special Something:  Special sticker, stamp or candy (it works) for those who are following directions.    6.  Selfies:  Take a video or picture (or pretend to).  Tell them you might send this to their parents so they need to be on their best behavior!    7.  Super Spot:  Draw a smiley face or use scented lip balm to make a spot.    8.  Mystery Student:  Pick a random student to watch for good behavior.  Pi
