The Jelly Bean Jar

An easy way to encourage students to aim towards great behaviour in the classroom is to draw a jar on the whiteboard and 10 jellybeans in the jar. Let the class know that each jelly bean represents 1 minute of free time at the end of the day, every time someone is silly, people are loud or the wrong thing is being done we lose a jelly bean and once it's gone it can't be given back.
