Raffle to Keep the Peace
Saturday, September 19th, 2009I’m always looking for creative ideas to use raffle tickets on a daily basis, so as to be able to sell more of them. It can sometimes be hard to come up with creative things to sell them for or ways that you can use raffle tickets in every day situations. However, I recently came up with an idea that I think would work well in any classroom.
My husband is a new teacher, and he’s been looking for ways to improve on his classroom management. I suggested the following idea: At beginning of the day give each student 3 raffle tickets for a bag of chips or a candy bar. For each time the student behaves badly during the day, the teacher can take away one of the raffle tickets. At the end of the day, the student’s put their names on the tickets and turn in all their raffle tickets to the teacher. The teacher then puts the tickets in a bowl and draws the name of the student who gets the free snack. In this way, the teacher is able to give the students an incentive to behave better in class.
This would be a whole new avenue for the raffle ticket industry I believe. Not that other people haven’t had the same idea before, I’m sure they have. But I think the more we can push raffle tickets into practical usage in every day life, the more we’ll be able to sell them. I love that raffle tickets could benefit the schools in another way than just fund raising. What do you think?
