The English "XP" bar!! (a cool motivation + reward system)

(1/6) > >>

GreenFloyd:
Hey guys. This is just something I put together today for my after-school students. It's a simple concept: give every student a Level 1 card (laminate them!) at the beginning of the class. Have them write their name in the box. Put stickers (or stars/checks/whatever) in each box when a student wins a game, participates in class, or in whatever way you wish in order to motivate your students.

When they level up, you give them the Level 2 card. Students will have to keep their own cards. All you do is provide the stickers/stars/etc. for their leveling up. With each level up you could give them reward (as you wish). I included the printable form on .doc's too.

Pictures on the cards are from Warcraft. I was inspired by the idea from something I saw on here several months ago. Unfortunately I can't find the topic at the moment in order to give that person credit.

Darkeru:
Did your students actually remember to bring these? Even with a reward at the end, most of my students forget things like stamp sheets for winter camp.

GreenFloyd:
I haven't started it yet, but I only plan on doing it for my 20 after-school students. I suppose I could just collect them and keep them myself (distributing them every day), but I think once things get going and they realize there are nice prizes for each level up, they will remember to keep it ;).

I'm doing this for middle school boys though, so maybe if you have Elementary you should collect and distribute? *shrug*

My kids keep their books for every class, so surely they can keep and bring one thing that I give them.

This is superb, thanks!

I'm in an elementary school and will use this, just get them to stick it in the front of their books.

I use this sytem on my 5th graders. Now in certain classes 100% of them are doing their homework or atleast bringing their notebook, pencil and paper.  They are also participating more to get points on the board. The points on the board are by group and determines who leaves first.
