              "SURPRISE"



  • Pick out a surprise activity, such as an extra 15 minute recess or a class game. 
  • Write "SURPRISE" on the chalkboard.
  • Throughout the day, if the class gets noisy or students are out of their seats without permission, erase a letter starting at the end of the word. Add missing letters when everyone is behaving well.
  • If the complete word is intact at the end of the day, students get the SURPRISE.
