Incentive Store (The Reward Zone)
We have an Incentive Store called Reward Zone stocked with all kinds of goodies: sports equipment, dolls, knick-knacks, sports cards, pencils, cars, pictures, and lots of miscellaneous treasures. Kids ages 3 thru 6th grade earn coins while in class for attendance, knowing Bible lessons/verses from past weeks, bringing their Bibles to class, bringing a friend to class, or other positive classroom interactions. They can earn extra coins by having their parents fill out their coin table sheets with extra good deeds that they’ve done at home, school, or anywhere else outside of church.
Each month- the FIRST Sunday in fact- the Reward Zone opens and they can spend their hard-earned coins. Coins for ages 3 thru 2nd grade are kept at the church and parents are encouraged to visit their classrooms often to see how they’re progressing. Grades 3rd thru 6th are taught the importance of good stewardship, so they are responsible for their coins. A reminder letter is sent home the week before the store opens so that they can be ready.
Around holidays, birthdays, Mother’s or Father’s day, and other special occasions, we encourage them to shop for others. The kids love to brighten up their loved ones faces with gifts that they've worked really hard for. We love the unintentional lessons that this program has taught. The law of reciprocity really does work!
Donations of items as well as monetary contributions are greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions about this program, please see your child’s teacher or see Darla. |
