4 Star Tip Rating

Appropriate grades or age groups:
Preschool and Younger
Elementary School
Middle School
High School & Beyond

Estimated time to complete activity or implement technique:

Materials needed (if applicable):
Card stock paper
hole punch

Activity set-up/instructions or description of technique:
I simply made several buisness size punch cards with my Printmaster Program.(the edges are lined with small pictures of a book with Baily's Book club in the middle.) I made cards for .25, .50.,1.00, and 2.00 books monetary value is dependent on the difficulty level of the book. As she finishes a book card she earns money for summer activities. This is our first try at this and I hope it works!( By the way my daughter will be entering the fourth grade)

Other suggestions or comments:
I am thinking of making punch cards for other things like a whole day of no TV, fill the card(maybe 5 days worth) we go out to eat, the possibilities are endless, just use a punch card for any task you want them to complete!
