Summer of Fun Jar!

Including my 2 kids I have 2 other kids at my house 3 days a week. I wanted a good behavior incentive that was easy to track. I put a label on an old peanut jar that says "Summer of Fun Jar". When I see the kids exhibit good behavior (manners at the table, kind to each other, etc.) I put $ in. When they act up I take out. I sometimes have the child that acted out take the money out if the punishment needs to be more impactful. Then at the end of the summer the $ will get divided up 4 ways and we are making a shopping trip to Target. I just use the change that my husband and I throw in a basket when we clean out our wallets. It makes them work as a team and helps them understand that their behavior not only impacts them alone but the whole group. They are SO excited about it each day and it is working really well so far!
