Hello everyone 

 

I am teaching elementary students in different grades:  3, 4, 5, and 6...I mean ages: 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 years ) and as English as a second language is taught once a week I �m struggling to find excellent rewards to raise my students � motivation .I want to know  what  successful and attractive ideas you have experienced in your ESL classes.

 

Thank you 

 

 

I �ve had good luck with stickers. I get them on a sheet and by theme. Boys like rockets, planes, tanks, super heroes while girls like penguins, fluffy things, stars, rainbows. The first to complete get first choice. In case of kids wanting the same sticker, I have them play rock, scissors, paper.

 

I also went to a teacher store in the US and bought pencils, pencil sharpeners, rubber bracelets, etc to use as gifts or rewards. 

 

You are right, nice idea ... thank you very much.

 

 

Mine have the right to choose from small items like sharpeners, stickers, small  toys, stars, marbles etc. after they pass their test  at 90 % or above. They know that if they have a test - it �s good since they will be choosing their favorite stuff. It works absolutely!!!

 

It only consts me ... But they are very motivated!

Good luck!
