These prizes will be given for a variety of reasons. To earn a prize, students may have to reach a learning goal or maintain classroom expectations. Using a prize box can be a great motivator. It can also aid in making the classroom feel like a positive, welcoming environment. Many times, the prize box works as a motivational tool. When students see something in the prize box that they want, students may instantly decide to do whatever it takes to be rewarded with that item. This can be helpful for those students who are not necessarily motivated to earn good grades. If the prize is an item that matters most to the student, then he or she may display an unstoppable persistence in getting that prize. The prize becomes a tangible validation of the child's learning. This can help the child gain an interest in his or her learning, as well. When students are interested in making a selection from the prize box, they can be more motivated to complete assigned assignments and stay on task during class. The prize box rewards the effort of the students. It validates the need for putting forth the hard work necessary when learning to master a new skill. Selecting an award from the prize box is a way for teachers and a student's peers to recognize a student for achieving personal growth.
