I am incredibly generous for points in the summer. They get a point for each complete practice session, doing their theory, scales and technique, memorizing pieces, counting or saying the letter names out loud during the lesson, and so on. It keeps them motivated, especially with the promise of an ice cream party at the end.

This is such a cute idea. I am going to implement this into our summer lessons this year. how did you do your point system?

Great idea! I give ice cream sundaes in my incentive program. My students fill up a jar with pom-poms though. I think this is much cuter!

Another great idea from a creative teacher!
I love those die cutting machines. If a teacher has a lot of group lessons, maybe it would be worth the money to buy one. They save SO much time.

This is a really cute idea; however, I am unable to get the scoop pattern to come up.
