20 Fun FREE Rewards for Students
Looking for fun free class reward ideas (that aren’t candy!?) We all know teachers spend SO much money in their own classroom. One place you don’t need to spend the money is on classroom rewards or a treasure box…because there are SO many classroom rewards that are free! These free rewards are often much more meaningful than a plastic toy (and better for the environment at the same time.) 🌎

I typically TRY to avoid candy as a classroom reward, but….if you are going to use a candy reward a great time to get FREE donations is right after Halloween (or Easter, or Valentine’s Day). Ask parents for donations of unwanted candy after a holiday and you will get FREE candy for your students. Save $ and help out your class parents too by getting some candy out of their house!
Looking for a FREE way to Celebrate Students’ Birthdays?
Use these birthday free homework passes as a stand-alone gift or attach to a bag of goodies or special pencil. Students will ❤️having a day with no homework! Print out enough of these Happy Birthday FREE Homework Passes at the beginning of the year so they are ready to grab and go when it’s time to celebrate a student birthday. 🎁
Every day reward Idea: Behavior Alerts & Praise
Behavior Alert & Behavior Praise includes Student Apology Letter and Behavior Chart. This is an easy tool for excellent behavior management in the classroom! This resource includes a Behavior Alert (for ‘bad’ behavior) and a Behavior Praise (for outstanding behavior) half-page note to send home to parents.
These behavior notes may be used along with a behavior chart. This resource also includes a fill-in-the-blank student apology letter template for kids to write to a classmate, teacher, and/or parent.
I always keep a big stack of Behavior Alert and Behavior Praise notes on a clipboard ready to go! I only use the Alerts as needed. However, I try and send home a Behavior Praise to a student every few days. A great way to make sure every students receives a Praise note is at the beginning of the month, write each student’s name on one. Keep track of who receives Praises & Alerts on the included Behavior Chart.
