This is genius

This idea was stolen from my friend Emily who has a

fantastic blog, I love this girl.

So, as many of you may know I do a prize bucket with the kids. They can earn something out of the bucket if they obtain 10 ice cream scoops.

They can earn a scoop for completing their chores,

helping mom out,

good behavior at school & sports,

you get the idea.

Pretty much for anything.

Some of the prizes include a trip to Baskin Robbins (a favorite)

Stickers,
candy,
toys,
crap from the dollar store I don't feel bad throwing away after,
etc.

And this has been working quite well I must say.

All I have to do is threaten or bribe ice cream scoops and they shape up rather quickly. I love it. They love it.
What kid doesn’t like prizes? And who doesn’t like to be incentivized?
Duh.
