Bingo Behavior



I use this in my class to reinforce positive behaviors. When the chart fills up, it's time to play "Bingo". I roll a special die with more than six sides. Then I roll a cube with the Bingo letters on it. The winner gets to pick a prize from the treasure chest. I usually roll for five winners. I find this is easier than kids having to hang onto raffle tickets. Also, we only "play Bingo" when the chart gets filled up. So, more positive behavior equals more frequent gaming sessions!  Now about that treasure chest...Let me know where you get your treasure chest "finds".

What the Teacher Learned:  Positive reinforcement is a lot easier, and way more fun!
