Middle school students also love stickers, especially scented stickers. They also love cool pencils and pens. Love the glucose tablets and the verb bars. Love the sensory toys too!
Yeah I think stickers and other little toys/trinkets would probably be best used as incentives for younger, elementary school students. For older kids in middle or high school, I would say the best incentives would probably be promising to do a fun activity or allowing a little bit of unstructured free time for them to chat or use their phones at the end of class. Definitely don't give food to any of them, it's too much of a liability with allergies and whatnot plus it can often be messy.
I remember in high school my trig teacher would get funny stickers or even just the scented ones sometimes and we would all show what stickers we got while she was passing back the rest of our papers. Even though we were 16-17 it was still something we enjoyed that kept us pure🫶🏻
You must be a long term teacher. I only pick up daily assignments and travel to various school campuses. Many of those items are readily available inside the homeroom classroom. I’ve even seen fidget toys inside a high school classroom.
For new subs who have limited college coursework. Have elementary subs ever been in a situation with zero lesson plans and then my follow up question would be how do you go about teaching them all their subjects for that day?
Op. I didn’t even think about that. I was going to use the same prize box I use for cheer. I’ll have to ask. It has candy and snacks mixed in with the prizes. Thanks for the tips!
