School Reward Stickers
Classroom Rewards For Elementary School
Rewarding children with good behaviour stickers is a tradition that has been around for many years. Using a reward system at home or school can be a powerful way to change children’s behaviour and help them to focus on positive behaviour.
Why Do Children Love Stickers?
Children love to express themselves and they can easily do so with a sticker. It tells others if they have achieved something or are celebrating a special event, such as a birthday. They love to show off their sticker and when they are wished a happy birthday or congratulated on their achievement, it is great for their emotional wellbeing and confidence and makes them feel proud.
Stickers are easy to apply and move and the theme ideas are endless. Any interest can be catered for, from dinosaurs to princess castle stickers.
Make Your Own Personalised Stickers
There is a fantastic range of colours, textures and finishes available and you can print customised stickers to add a personal touch. It’s an ideal way for teachers who want to reinforce good behaviour. For example, ‘Mrs Smith says great work today’ can be a way for their children to show off their badge and get more praise from their family when they get home. It’s an effective way for teachers to encourage children to strive to meet goals and targets in class.
Classroom Reward Charts
Reward charts usually display a goal and show progress made towards that. Then a certain number of stickers or reward stars add up to a reward. These charts can be very helpful for motivation. The reward at the end reinforces good behaviour. There are plenty of free reward charts downloadable on the internet, or they are very easy to make yourself.
Sticker Reward Chart Design Ideas
Sticker reward chart template designs that involve the child’s interests are the most effective. Especially if the stickers are needed to help the child’s favourite animal, Disney princess, or cartoon character to reach a goal on the chart, such as a finish line or to an object at the top of a ladder on the chart.
Fireman Sam Reward Stickers
Fireman Sam reward stickers can be used with a ladder design on a chart. Each time the child is rewarded with a sticker, another fireman is placed on the ladder, above the others. This makes a clear visual reference, showing the child how far they have come and that they need to continue working towards their goal. It encourages the child to want to help Fireman Sam to climb up to the top of the ladder to reach his fire hydrant. Once reaching the fire hydrant, the child gets a reward and feels a sense of achievement and proud for helping Fireman Sam and his friends.
Gold Star Sticker Wall Charts
Gold star stickers are a popular choice for wall charts as they are small and easy to add. Wall stickers emphasize progress for small children. The best wall charts start at the bottom and a sticker is added each time the child is rewarded. Wall charts in the classroom allow children to see their progress clearly. However, older children may prefer this to be more private and added to a journal or diary rather than on a wall chart. We offer custom certificate printing which works well for children of all ages.
Using Stickers As Rewards
Stickers given straight after the behaviour helps to reinforce it. Seeing other students also receiving stickers can help children see what behaviour is rewarded and replicate this. Children with challenging behaviours may benefit a lot from positive behaviour reinforcement.
Children can get bored with the same reward, so you could mix it up with different stickers and perhaps a small gift for the person with the most stickers each week.
Motivational School Stickers
There are many occasions in the school day when a sticker may be a great reward idea. When a child has completed a module or project, they can be rewarded with a sticker to show off their new skills or knowledge.
Sports Day And Competitive Events
Rosette shape stickers can show the position awarded to each child. Ideal for sports day and competitive events. Sports stickers can also be used when a child learns a new sport or achieves a certain level of performance, such as being able to swim 500 metres. They can be presented during assembly or at awards ceremonies. The awards can also include the teachers such as headteacher awards, teacher awards.
Teacher classroom reward stickers. These are great when they have motivational phrases on them that reinforce good behaviour, such as well done, great work or on target.
Attendance Punctuality Stickers
The best ways to encourage punctuality in young children is by setting an example and starting lessons on time. Rewarding children for their punctuality early on in their life, helps them to be more punctual when they start getting homework.
Customised Reward Stickers
For something truly individual, you can personalise reward stickers so that they add that extra special personal touch for the child. Perhaps adding the teachers name so the message feels really meant for them.
Adding a special texture such as stickers with a foil background can be very effective. Die cut foil stickers in a rosette shape can be printed with gold foil to resemble a medal.
Hopefully, you now have some good ideas of how stickers can help motivate the children in your care. If you need help, we have a talented team of graphic designers, who can turn your ideas into a reality or make a new design to suit you and your needs.
