Old CDs As Classroom Incentive

Submitted by Rhonda Schilling, Madison, WI

I save old or junk mail CDs and use them as a reward for students who have passed a certain song.

On each CD I write the name of a song. Then when a student is able to play or sing that song, they get to write their name (or I write it for them) on the CD. They love to walk by and see whose names are on the CDs. I fit about 25 kids' first names on a CD.
