cheap rewards

on: January 25, 2006, 02:12:57 PM

actually this has to do with piano, but anyway - if you have young students (4-6) and need cheap rewards - where do you buy yours? i used to go to the dollar store and get pencils, erasers, little prizes, etc. but have since realized a lot of free stuff on the internet too. coloring pictures - for instance. that is just as good as a sticker (if you run out and can't stand the look on their face).

any more cheap or free stuff that is good for incentives? are there any catalogues you regulary use (to buy in quantities)?

i got 3 credits at school for giving up my evening and playing... lol... i dont think the teacher realized that people dont bother with credits in fifth year... last time i got £10 ($15) for playing... i must have been downgraded...
