1 Free or Inexpensive Rewards for Students and Staff Compiled by Laura A. Riffel, Ph.D. from schools implementing School-wide PBIS ISBN:
2 In School-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), many schools are seeking ways to reward students in ways that give recognition and attention from peers and adults without costing much money. These pages have been compiled from working with Pre-K through High Schools on successful rewards used as incentives for students and staff. Individual teachers can use these rewards in their classrooms or they can be part of a universal effort for PBIS. Ask students to share their ideas with you about What would mean the world to you? What could an adult give you that would let you know you had done a good job; but, it can t cost much money? I was once riding a school bus in a very large metropolitan city, prior to providing PBIS training to the bus drivers. While we were running the route, the bus assistant came up to me and pointed to two boys directly behind me and said, He s the first worst kid on the bus and that one over there is the second worst kid on the bus. After I thought the students had time to calm down from her negative comments, I turned around and asked these middle school students the what would mean the world to you question. Here are there answers: 1) Oh man. I see people when they throw a football it goes straight. When I throw a football it goes all crazy. If someone could teach me how to throw a football straight; that would mean the world to me. 2) I suck at spelling (pardon the language). If someone could tell me how to be a better speller. That would mean the world to me. I am continually amazed at the answers students give me to this question. I read somewhere that we have decreased face time with children by 62% since the 1950 s. It seems that one of the best rewards we can give them is our time.

Have little slips of paper and pretend to write the fruits that the students name on pieces of paper and drop them in the other brown paper bag. Now tell the students that you will be able to pull out the exact name of the fruit in the sealed bag. Reach in to the open paper bag and pull out a slip of paper and amazingly read the name of the fruit that is in the bag. Show the students that it indeed says apple (or whatever fruit). Then open the sealed brown paper bag and show the apple. The students will be amazed. What the students do not know is that you wrote apple on every piece of paper that you put in the open brown paper bag. Even though you pretended to struggle even to write the word rhubarb- you were really writing apple. It s a great mood breaker. Put a picture of Mr. Green on this page. On the next page you might have Mrs. Brown s great math experiment. Mrs. Brown asks her students to answer this question: Which would you rather have? A dollar a day for the next 30 days or a penny on day one, two pennies on day two, four pennies on day three, eight pennies on day four and so on for 30 days?

When the staff members get to the coldest water fountain, one of the PBIS team members will be waiting with a bottle of water that has the next clue taped on it. This will go on and end up in the cafeteria where the team meets up again and has a breakfast ready for all the staff members. 75. Surprise whole staff and take them on a group outing on a weekend- for example: 1) movie theater to see an uplifting movie, 2) breakfast at a restaurant, 3) BBQ at someone s house or 4) pool party at someone s house (preferably someone with a pool ) Ask the corporations to donate the services or at least make a generous discount. 76. Survey the staff and find out what their least favorite part of the job is. Throughout the year, have the PBIS committee do one disliked job for each person. For example, Mrs. Green might dislike bus duty. The PBIS team might take Mrs. Green s bus duty some Friday and let Mrs. Green go home early. 77. Take a survey of the staff on their favorite magazines. Ask PTO to purchase some subscriptions to put out in the staff lounge. 78. Take an old real estate sign and paint it with white enamel paint or chalkboard paint. Each day when the staff are pulling into the parking lot let them see the PBIS team has written a special thank you to one staff member for something outstanding each day. Mrs. Orange, we love the way you handled the bullying situation yesterday. Way to Go. 79. Think about each employee s strength and ask them to share that strength with others. This could be done through faculty meetings, one to one mentoring, etc. Make sure when the employee is asked to share, they are told why they were chosen. What made them stand out as an exemplar in this area? 80. Valet parking for a day 81. When a new employee comes to the school (including substitutes), set expectations by planning a small celebration welcoming the new person. Make an intercom announcement welcoming the substitute and ask everyone to make them feel welcome. 82. When employees have to work extra (PTO, Parent Teacher Conferences, etc.) provide a catered dinner. (You can get parents to donate pot luck or ask a catering company to support your school by donating)

Make a story on the computer with your child using Microsoft s PowerPoint program. Let your child be the star of the story.

Let your child help you do the laundry and then pay them with a special dessert for dinner. Be sure to say, Since you helped me save time by helping me fold the laundry, I have time to make this special dessert for dinner. 32. Help your child organize their room giving them a mnemonic to help them remember where things go- for instance teach them the color order of the rainbow and then teach them to hang up their clothes in color groups matching the order of the rainbow (ROYGBIV). Later on when you catch them hanging up their clothes in the correct place draw a rainbow award for their good work and put it on their door as a surprise when they come home. 33. Have the bedroom fairy come while they are at school and choose the bedroom that is the neatest. Hang a fairy from the doorway of the room that is the neatest and that person gets to sit in Dad s chair to read that night. (or something that would be appropriate at your house). 34. Mystery grab bag. Take an old pillow case and put slips of paper inside listing some of the prizes on this page and let the child draw out the prize they are going to get for their behavior reward. 35. Let your child dictate where you drive on the way home from a location. In other words, they have to tell you turn left here turn right here. If they happen to steer you into a Baskin Robbins Ice Cream Parlor, it wouldn t be a horrible thing to stop and have a family treat together. 36. Give your child a special piece of jewelry that belongs to you to keep and wear for the day. (Nothing that costs a lot of money- but something that looks like it is special to you.) The child will feel special all day long. 37. Take your children to the library one at a time and give them special one on one time at the library checking out books or listening to stories. 38. Sign your child up for acting lessons (they have to have earned this privilege). Many universities offer free acting classes on the weekend for children. 39. Take your child to an art gallery and then have them draw a picture of their favorite painting or statue. Possibly stage a mini art gallery tour of the child s work for relatives who are coming to visit. Serve cheese and grape juice. 40. Take your child to the university astronomy lab. (It is usually free). Help them place stars on the ceiling of their room in their favorite constellation. If possible they could paint the stars with glow in the dark paint. 41. Take your child on a nature walk and collect rocks. Bring the rocks back home and have a contest painting the rocks to look like animals. 42. Have your child collect some toys they have outgrown. Clean up the toys and take them to a local hospital children s ward and donate the toys to the ward. The child will get lots of attention and feel good.
17 43. Go to your local appliance store and ask them to save a refrigerator box for you. The next time your child earns a reward, give them the box and help them plan and decorate the box to turn it into anything their imagination desires. 44. Make Papier-mâché Halloween masks by taking punch ball balloons and spreading the paper strips over the balloon shape. Make noses, horns, tongues whatever they desire and then paint when dry. You will have a unique and free Halloween costume and you will have given your child ton s of attention. 45. Find an old fashioned popcorn popper (not an air popper). Spread an old sheet out on the living room floor, put a little oil in the popper and then have your children sit outside the perimeter of the sheet. Put a few kernels of popcorn in the popper and watch them fly up in the air. The kids will love watching this. For a special treat pour cinnamon sugar on the popcorn after it pops. 46. Find some light balsa wood and create a boat powered by a rubber band and paper clip paddle wheel. Make a unique sail and take the boat to a creek or lake nearby and help your child launch their boat. Be sure to take a butterfly net to retrieve the boat when it goes downstream. (Proactively, you could put an eye hook on the front of the boat and attach some fishing line to it so it can be brought back to shore. 47. Take your child fishing. It s a great place to have some really in depth conversations. 48. Take your child for a ride looking for items that start with each letter of the alphabet. Take the child s picture in front of each item that starts with that letter and then put it together as an ABC Book. For example: This is Johnny in front of Applebees. This is Johnny in front of BlockBuster. And so on. 49. Check with your local humane society and see if they allow children under 18 to volunteer to feed and water the animals. (Some shelters only allow adults over 18). Let your child earn the privilege of going to the shelter to feed and water the animals. Perhaps they can walk a small dog or pet a cat. 50. Take your child to the local fire department. As long as they are not busy, they will be glad to show the child around and give them some great attention. Most children have seen a fire truck, but few have actually gone to the fire department to see what it looks like. 51. Play the Gatekeeper Game with your child. A description of this game is available on (under books- Stork Manual page 60.) 52. Tell your children you have a surprise performance for them. Get a stocking cap and lay on a sturdy table with your head hanging chin up in the air. Cover all of your face with the stocking cap except your chin and mouth. Draw two eyeballs on your chin and then lip sync to a silly song. It looks really funny, like a little headed person with a big mouth singing. Then let your child put on a performance for you. 53. Play hide and go seek in your house in the dark. Turn out all the lights and have everyone hide. One person is it and they have to go around the house and find the people who are hiding. It s really a great way to help your children not be afraid of the dark. You can limit it to one or two rooms if your children are young. 54. Ask your children if they d rather have a dollar a day for thirty days or a penny a day that doubles each day for 30 days. In other words on day one 1 cent, day two 2 more cents, day three 4 cents and so on. Once they decide then help them figure out which one would have been the better deal. $10,737, at the end of 30 days with the double the pennies per day. 55. Give your child a nice piece of manila paper and some wax crayons. Have them color a design on every inch of the paper- could be stripes or wavy lines- whatever they desire. Then have them cover the entire page with black crayon. They color over the entire page. Then give them a paper clip and have them open one end and scratch a cool design into the black crayon. The colors underneath will show through. Do an art gallery tour and have tea and cookies after looking at the different pictures. 56. Teach your child how to throw a football, shoot a basket, kick a field goal, hit a baseball, putt a golf ball. Then for fun, switch hands and try to do all of those things with the opposite side of the body. 57. Find an old croquet set- probably on Ebay. Set up croquet in your yard and challenge your child to a game of croquet. The winning child gets to choose what the family eats for dinner.
18 58. Turn your dining room table into a cave by covering it with blankets, quilts and sheets that cover the top and sides down to the floor. Lay inside the cave and draw picture by flashlight to hang on the wall of the cave- just like the caveman drawings. You can safety pin the pictures to the cave walls. 59. Have a talent night for the family. Have everyone keep it a secret what they are doing and then perform for each other. 60. Teach your child how to darn a sock and then turn it into a magical sock puppet. Put on puppet shows for each other. 61. Take a tension curtain rod and put it in the door frame with some old curtains attached. Let your child put on a talent show for you as they enter through the curtain. 62. Attach cork panels to a wall in the kitchen or put in a large picture frame and put a special piece of art, poetry, or an exceptional paper on the board and have the entire family view and comment at dinner on the highlighted piece. 63. Let your child design thank you cards, birthday cards, or holiday cards and use them to send to friends and relatives. Make sure they sign their work. 64. Buy your child an inexpensive digital camera and have them take pictures and then gather the family with popcorn and watch the video on your television by hooking the camera to the television or upload to the computer and attach the computer to the television. Have everyone choose a favorite photo and talk about it. 65. Have a date night with your child as an only child. Take your child out to dinner and a play or a movie. Teenagers 1. A gallon of paint is inexpensive. Let the child choose the color and help them paint their room. You can also buy mistake paint (colors that didn t work out for others) and let the child paint a mural on their bedroom wall. 2. Teenagers need extra-curricular activities; however, these activities are expensive. Work out a deal with the karate teacher, horse stable, art teacher, sport coach etc. Offer to provide transportation, house cleaning duties once a month, or precooked meals to get a discount on these classes for your teenager. 3. Teenagers have a difficult time with their emotions. Download yoga lessons from online and do yoga breathing exercises together as a family. Talk to your child about using these techniques when they feel tense at school. 4. Make a deal. If your child maintains the grades you agree upon, does not have any unnecessary absences, and has been agreeable, allow them to take a mental health day and stay home on a day you are home as well. Go window shopping together, fishing, go-kart riding, or whatever would float your child s boat. My mother did this with us when we were children and I still remember these days fondly. 5. Let your teenager play their music during dinner and talk to you about why they like each song that plays. 6. Watch an old black and white classic movie together and talk about how movies have changed. My children loved Harvey with Jimmy Stewart when they were teenagers. 7. Write half a story or poem and let your teenager write the other half. Submit the story for publication. 8. Scan your teenager s papers or art work and have them bound in a book (www.lulu.com has inexpensive binding available). Present the book to your teenager at a special dinner. 9. Make a scrap book of your teenager and their friends with ticket stubs and pictures and present at a surprise party. 10. Save your change for a year. Let your teenager choose what to do with that money. One family that I know saved enough to take a family of six to Disneyland.
19 11. One of the greatest gifts you can give to a teenager is to teach them charity. Sign up to work in a soup kitchen, nursing home, or other similar area and work with them once a month. 12. Organize a neighborhood football or basketball game oldies vs youngsters or men vs. women and then have a block barbecue afterwards. 13. Let them drive the good car for a special occasion. 14. Surprise them with their favorite dessert for no special reason. 15. Write a story about the 20 things you love about them. Include fun pictures. 16. Choose a family member of the month and make a poster of them. Let them choose Friday night dinners for the month. 17. Teach your children how to play a game like Spoons, Canasta, Poker, etc. and have a family game night. 18. Turn out all the lights in the house and play hide and go seek in the dark. The person that can stay hidden the longest gets to choose the movie the family watches on Saturday night. 19. Hire your child to be an interior decorator and using only items available in the house, redo a room in the house. 20. Do your own Trading Spaces. Parents redecorate the teen s bedroom and the teen redecorates the parent s bedroom. 21. Use plastic Easter eggs and put dollar amounts in the eggs on slips of paper and number the eggs with a permanent marker. Play Deal or No Deal with one of the parents playing the banker. 22. Help your teenager study for a test by downloading a free Who Wants to be a Millionaire PowerPoint game and put the answers to your teenagers test into the game and then play to help them study. 23. Tape record your student s study questions onto a tape recorder for them so they can listen to them while they are going to sleep. 24. Make flash cards for your student s exams to help them study for a big exam. 25. Help your teenager organize their notebook using color coded folders for each subject and pocket folders for study cards. 26. Hide positive messages all over your teenager s room, in their books they use at home (you don t want them to get embarrassed at school), on their bathroom mirror, etc. 27. Watch Jeopardy and give each family member a pad of post it notes or index cards. Have everyone write down what they think the answer is and keep points. The person who wins gets to pick what the family does as an activity that weekend. 28. Do some research for your teenager. For example, if your teen is studying Greek Mythology go to the library and check out all the books on Greek Mythology for them or download some appropriate materials from the Internet (be careful of the Internet as some information is not correct). 29. Take your teen to a museum, on a nature walk, to a sporting event, whatever would float their boat. It s the time you spend with them that is important and there are many free events you can attend. 30. Make a special mix CD for your teen of their favorite songs. You can upload i-tunes and then copy their own CD s into the program and mix and match their favorite songs onto one CD so they don t have to flip through CD s to listen to their favorite songs. 31. Have a contest to see who can find something that no one in the family can guess what it is. For example, a shirt stay, or the inside spring to a toy, things that might not be recognizable away from their use. 32. Have everyone come to the table with a quote and then a contest to see who can guess who made the quote famous. 33. Surprise your teen with a scavenger hunt all over the house when they get home from school. Make the clues hard to figure out. I always had a little prize at the end like baseball cards. 34. Let your teen host the training of a guide dog. This will teach them responsibility and give them a sense of pride. 35. Help your teen become a big brother or sister to a child who needs a mentor. There is no greater gift you can give yourself than that of service to someone in need.
