Lottery Ticket Reward

One reward system that I implemented last year was widely loved by my students.  I think it can be used in the classroom and at home.  LOTTERY TICKETS!  Complete with a scratch off experience to find out what they've won.  I used them to help encourage my students to keep up on their homework but they could be used for anything you can imagine.  One thing that I really wanted to do this next year was to advertise a GRAND PRIZE that is on one lottery ticket.  For example, "Pizza Party for You and 2 Friends" or "$10 Gift Card to Toys R Us".  Something that they will really want so the desired behavior continues when they don't get the grand prize.

Here's what you need and how to make this fun project work!

Materials:
Printable {FREE Below}
Cardstock
Sharpie {optional}
Contact Paper
Scissors
Paint {gray or silver}
Dishwashing Soap
Foam Paintbrush

1.  Print out a few copies of the FREE printables below on card stock (colored is my favorite!).

2.  If using the blank template, write in your rewards inside the box with a sharpie.

3.  Place a 2x2 square of contact paper over the reward box.

4.  Combine some gray or silver paint with some dishwashing soap.

I usually do 2 parts paint to 1 part soap.

5.  Use your paint/soap to paint over the contact paper.

 {You may need to do a coat or two if your paint gets too thin}

6.  Let the paint dry and then cut out lottery tickets. 

 7.  Give them a scratch with a penny and reveal the reward!

Here are the printables!
