I recently had a few speech students get upset when they lost a game during speech. I used to reward the winner with a few skittles. However, I don't like to see the kids get sad. Therefore, I developed a new system. Every time a student wins, he or she earns a sticker. Once the student receives ten stickers, he or she wins a prize. I think it is a way for the students to learn to work towards a goal instead of immediate gratification. I keep the students' sticker charts on the wall for all to see. This shows the other students that many of their peers work on their speech too. Also, the student that loses doesn't get upset! I'm sure all of you have some great ideas! I'm all ears!
