WHAT IT DOES

What is a behavior incentive wheel?

A behavior incentive wheel is a random picker that chooses one adult-approved encouragement or reward after a child, student, class, or small group reaches a clear and achievable positive goal.

Add praise prompts, privileges, helper roles, activity choices, bonus turns, stickers, or small celebrations. Then use the visible spin to recognize kindness, routine progress, calm choices, participation, successful transitions, or another skill that has been taught and supported.
