I have quite a few teacher friends, and they have some pretty unique ideas when it comes to raffles.  Not only do they use raffles for fund raising at their school, but they also use it in their classrooms.  I don’t know if they just find ways to use them because they know me or not lol.  I have one teacher friend who came up with a great idea lately that highly incorporates raffle tickets that I thought I would share on here as a raffle idea.

At the beginning of each quarter of school she gives each student 5 raffle tickets to use for the whole quarter for different things in the classroom.  If they need a pencil, they have to give her one of their raffle tickets.  If they have to go to the bathroom, they have to give her a raffle ticket.  If they get a detention they have to turn in all of their tickets.  If they have any raffle tickets left at the end of the quarter, they can turn them in for a prize of some kind.

I think that this is a great way to motivate students to stay on task in the classroom.  It’s also a really creative way to use raffle tickets, which I love of course.  It’s such a cool way to give the kids responsibility for their actions and instill a sense of responsibility in them.  It is an all around great idea!

I’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?
