My Project

Hello! Thank you for choosing to read about our project. I am looking for Amazon Gift Cards to use as motivational prizes. In my classroom, my students do academic competitions a few times a year. I would like to use these as prizes to give away.

Buy anything from A to Z with a gift card for positive behavior or learning competitions!

Let's face it, kids like to be able to purchase things that they want. Using these gift cards as rewards, they would be able to do just that. They could buy Legos, art supplies, restaurant gift cards, candy, and many other things. If their parents don't have an Amazon account, I let them shop on mine and order it from there.

Using a gift card also requires them to budget their money. Budgeting is a valuable life skill.
