How to use the classroom reward wheel

  1. 1

    Reward students who complete reading logs, demonstrate kindness, or achieve personal growth goals.

  2. 2

    Allow the celebrated student to spin the wheel in front of their cheering peers.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Friday Milestone Celebrations: Celebrate students who earned all positive behavior points with a spin.
  • Reading Challenge Reward: Spin when completing a monthly reading challenge.

Rewards that do not cost anything

Positive behavior systems work best when the rewards are small, quick and fun. The slices here, like a free homework pass, choosing a partner or wearing sunglasses in class, cost nothing and are easy to deliver. The spin adds anticipation, which students often enjoy as much as the prize itself.

Use it at the end of the week for a class that met a goal, or let individual students earn a spin with a certain number of points.

Keeping it fair and meaningful

Tell students what earns a spin before the week starts, and make sure everyone can reach it. Remove any prize you cannot reliably give, and add ones that match your school’s policies. Rotate the prizes so the wheel stays interesting.
