Homeworkopoly
By Mary Ann

I used it last year and the kids loved it. It was a great incentive. I only used it as a reading incentive so it wasn't too difficult to manage. If the kids read 100 or more minutes per week at home, had completed their
reading log, and had it signed by a parent then they got to play. We played once a week. I made a few changes such as
Brainbinders- The kids could pick any Brain Pop movie to share with the class. (brainpop.com is a very cool site!)
Library spot- became -20 minutes of reading for the next week.
Passing go- the kids earned $20.00 in Starbucks, our classroom monetary system.
I

made up "Roll Again" cards that I passed out quite frequently when the kids were just being good, or just doing what they were supposed to be doing without me having to remind them and so on. They LOVED these.
