About this sheet
The best classroom rewards cost nothing and give a child a little choice or time. These coupons are eight small tickets to a page, each with a colored strip and one reward you can reword: choosing the read-aloud book, sitting anywhere for the day, leading the line. A child who has earned one holds it until they want it, then hands it back to cash it in. Keep the rewards non-food and ones you can honor on the spot, because a coupon you cannot redeem teaches the wrong lesson. Cut the sheet apart, keep a stack in a pocket or a jar, and print a new set whenever your class needs fresh ideas.
Grades: Pre-K to 8. Best in: August, September, May.
How to use it
- Rewrite the eight rewards so each is something you can honor at once and that costs nothing.
- Print on card stock, cut the page into tickets, and keep the stack where you can hand one out easily.
- When a child cashes in a coupon, collect it so each one is used once, and swap in new rewards each term.
Five ideas for class
- Fill the list with rewards of time and choice, like ten minutes of free drawing, because those never run out the way treats do.
- Ask the class to suggest rewards and vote on the best eight, which gives every child a stake in what is on the page.
- Make each coupon good for one use only, and collect it on cashing in, so the class sees that a ticket means something.
- Hand out coupons for effort and kindness as well as correct answers, so more children get the chance to earn one.
- Use a few coupons as a class prize, such as a brain break everyone picks, to cheer on a group goal.

Questions
Can I change the rewards?
Yes, all eight lines are editable, one per line. Keep them free, non-food and quick to honor, so a child never waits long for a promised prize.
How many coupons print on a page?
Eight, in two columns of four. If you list fewer than eight rewards, the rest of the page prints with blank tickets to fill by hand.
Is there a name line on each?
The coupon is built to be cashed in, and a child can write a name or initials on it. You can also leave it blank and collect the ticket.
How do I save it as a PDF?
Choose Print, then pick “Save as PDF” as the printer. Only the sheet prints: the page around it is hidden. You can also save a sheet as a PNG image under the preview.
Can I print it in black and white?
Yes. Switch to Black and white beside the sheet: fills turn white and lines turn black, so it saves ink and photocopies cleanly.
