Here is a sheet I use. It has 2 charts on one sheet to be printed out in color (bw is okay if you have a good printer.) Each chart has 10 spots for students to place stickers they get for doing a great job or handing in homework in on time.

It can also be used to award students for good behavior.

I have finished one award certificate for completion of one of the sheets, but I'm planning to get the other done shortly so I'll post both of those a little later.

Good luck with them.

Thanks, Mark. Those look really fun for the kids! Did you make those yourself?

[mesmark]

Yes, I did. pat pat pat myself on the back

I actually made a card game called 'Eigomon' and it was a big hit with the students. So, I decided to use the same theme and make a hw incentives sheet. I haven't had to use it much but in the classes that I use them, they also go over well.

I have posted on my web site award cert. that match the above hw incentives sheets. www.mes-english.com/games/eigomon.php The awards certs are listed with the cards for the game about half way down the page.

What does "Eigomon" mean?

[mesmark]

Eigo - means English in Japanese (pronounced ay-go)

I named it such as a parody on Pokemon which is still hot here in Japan. Pokemon is actually Pocket Monsters. The 'mon' stands for monster.

In hind sight I probably should have come up with an original name. Anyway I guess it stands for English Monsters.

Also, I have taken this sheet off my site as well as the award cert.s because I've made changes to the characters. The only place to find it now is eslHQ.com!

That's funny and interesting. In Korean, "Ay-go" is like saying "Oh Jeez", kind of, but a little worse. Like if someone just told you that you had to teach 4 more classes after you just got done teaching 6 and you were about to go home. not much you can do but say, "Ay-go".

Anyway, i like the name, Eigomon. I'm sure the Japanese students really like it. But I don't think it would work in Korea, at least not as a motivator for learning English. Can you imagine, "Oh Jeez Monsters". But it works well in Japanese.

BTW, i never knew what Pokemon meant either.

Thanks for leaving your old characters on eslHQ and good luck with your new characters!

Happy teaching,

List quick tips that work for you. At the end of the day I feel like I have spent so much time managing behavior. Maybe we could all share a few tried and true tricks of the trade that could benefit us all. I think it would be a good idea to separate management techniques into primary and upper. List any ideas for consequences and rewards!
