Relax, Share, and Laugh!
3 Jul
Two of my students have earned an ice cream sundae since I began my incentive program a few months ago. They will both have their parties during their lessons next week. I’m really excited. I am allowing them to bring a (well behaved-I specified) friend to partake in all the fun and goodness! (Hopefully, one or two of the friends I allow to come will want to take lessons- an idea my sister-in-law suggested!)
We’re going to spend a few minutes eating ice cream and then we will play some musical games. I still haven’t decided which games to play, so if anybody has some great suggestions for easy games two kids can play, send ’em my way!
At the end of the lesson, the student will have a mini-recital for his/her friend. I think it should be really fun! I’ll let you know how it goes once it’s all over!

Hi, I’ve heard of lots of things being used as incentives but never ice cream!! Well done for thinking of something a little different for your students. I hope they appreciate the effort you are obvisouly putting in.
[...] two ice cream parties last week were so much fun. Each student brought one friend to their lesson. We started out [...]
Thanks for your response to my email in June 2009.
I have started the ice cream incentive program. Boy does it work well to motivate. One sister has her jar almost full. How do the parents feel about paying for a lesson that they bring a friend & play games, basically missing their lesson? Also her little sister who is also in the program comes the 1/2 hour just before her. Should be invited to stay.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
