If you prefer to go the candy route, but you don't want to dig into your pocket, just save all the candy treats that the students give you, and use them as rewards!

I ought to try that.
I don't want to reject all the candy treats which the students give me, but the last thing I need is more candy in my diet.
(I am a man of considerable adiposity.)

Exactly what I do. I just have to be careful the kid who gave it to me isn't around. The other day a girl thought I ran down to the PC-bang to get her a really big choco-pie because it was her birthday; in fact she was just helping me clean out my desk.

What about activities which are both fun and educational?
Verb conjugations, prepositions, plural and singular--all of these grammatical points can be made into concentration games, go fish games, old maid games, or bingo games.
When a child misbehaves, just ask the child, "Do you want to act silly, or do you want to play bingo?"
I promise you, the other children will understand the word "bingo." And they will help you pressure that child into behaving.

For the first year, it will take you long hourse to type, print, cut, paste, and laminate all those games. But those games will last you a lifetime, and they will prove themselves worth the effort.


Yeah sure, for elementary school kids or middle schoolers who are at least a bit interested in learning. What do you do when you hand a bunch of bingo cards out to middle schoolers and they just keep reading their comic books and listening to music on their cell phones?
