HOMEWORK Tracker Incentive, and a Freebie Template

I used this template for a few years to help me keep track of who had done their homework, and as a reward incentive when they completed it. Of course, one of the stipulations was that THEY had to do their own work and not a sibling or parent.

One way I used this was I glued a page in their homework folder. Every morning, the children turned in their folders in the basket by the door as they came into the room. As I checked their folder, if the work was done, I used a colored marker or Sharpie to initial one block. When the word HOMEWORK was completed, the student got a treat. (A lot of times it was a gumball or piece of bubble gum that they could chew after school.) When the entire sheet was initialed, I glued on a second sheet.

Behavior Rewards Punch Cards

As a behavior incentive, I used to give out little stickers to the kids to place on their sticker reward charts. But in the past couple of years, those stickers increasingly "went missing" from some children's charts, only to "magically appear" onto other charts. 

Trying to find a solution, I started putting my initials in the squares. After a while, that didn't work well, either.

Hence my current solution. I made up new charts. Punch cards, actually. Each child will get to decorate their own card with their name or picture. The cards will fit nicely in the table tubs.

You can get a copy of these punch cards here.

Now, each time they earn a punch, they'll bring me their card. Note that the hole punch I'll be using is actually a star, and not a circle like a regular hole punch produces.

We'll see how this works out.
