Punch cards are a fantastic form of positive behavior reinforcement. 
Here is how it works:
  • Each child gets a punch card with their name on it. 
  • The teacher designates a place for them to be kept in the room.
  • When a child does something wonderful, the teacher asks the child to get his or her punch card and then punches a hole in the card. 
  • Once the child completes their entire card with holes from the teacher, the child then trades it in for a treasure chest prize.
  • The child then moves on to the next seasonal punch card & starts the entire process again.
