WHEN DO YOU START THE COUNTDOWN?
That's up to you! I like to do one day for each student I have. For example, if I had 24 students, I would do 24 balloons. Each day we have a "student of the day" and they get a special tote of goodies to use. You could also pick a set number and start the countdown at that time, such as the final 10 days.
WHAT'S IN THE BALLOONS?
Inside each balloon is a reward or activity the class will do for the day. Some days its something VERY small (like-everyone gets a jolly rancher or read to self outside.) Often, I pick things I would want to do with the class anyhow and turn them into rewards! Some days there is something bigger (like a room transformation day-think glow day!) I sprinkle those in a so I have time to recover afterwards. ;) The class knows some days will be bigger than others. We talk about enjoying each reward no matter how small and being grateful. After all-you could end the year without any of these things. It's all just an extra way to bring joy and fun!
