Reward Idea Help...

[sconnell]

I'm putting strips of paper in a jar with rewards on them. I'm looking for things like "pick a movie" & "stay up 15 minutes late." Any suggestions? I want some really creative things.

 

[Mkrop]

pick the dessert/snack

pick the new cereal

pick a family game

pick a place to eat or get takeout.

trip to McDs or somewhere like that if that is a big deal

dollar store trip

Dairy Queen or ice cream trip.

my dd says

[scrapquitler]

choose dinner,

have a picnic lunch in the living room

skip a bath

desert before dinner

stickers

pick a movie for the family to watch

Popcorn

matinee movie

paint her nails

extra bedtime story

my dd is always asking to have backwards dinners where we eat the dessert first

watch a DVD in the van

trip to the bulk candy store

ride on a coin operated ride at the mall (a far cry from disney and a sad day for me when my kids realized the rides actually moved)

 

[Mouse House Mama]

Picnic inside.
Camp out inside (tent in livingroom etc.)


These are my kid's favorite things to do!

These are great ideas! Keep them coming!

 

[bellebud]

baking/decorating cookies together

special craft project to do together (the dollar store has stuff you could stock up on to pick from)

making ice cream sundaes together

treasure hunt (maybe draw pics for your kids instead of words)...
ie: "look under kitchen sink" (or draw the kitchen sink cabinet)...
then under the sink is another piece of paper "look under couch" (or a picture of the couch)...
another piece of paper under the couch "look under mom's bed"... you get the idea... then a small treasure at the end (candy or a small toy, ect).

trip to Disney! (just kidding on that one... but imagine???)

here are some more ideas:

* trip to McD's playground
* new book/coloring book/crayons
* breakfast for dinner
* silly hat day
* poptart day
* bath surprise (bubble bath, colored tabs for bath, squirt toys, etc)
* trip to library

* spa day (dollar store has cheap nail polish and 50 cent makeup), and just let her put lipstick all over her face if she wants, because "its pretty mommy!!"
* have a mom/daughter (or son) dinner wherever he or she wants
*mac and cheese for breakfast and pancakes for dinner
* stay up late and have snuggle time with mom
*pick a toy from toys r us
* have a 10$ Disney store "mini shopping spree"
* have a friend sleep over (if that's allowed at this age)
* go to mc donalds (for my kids that was like Christmas all over again)
* no bath or something they don't like to do
* play with balloons (maybe this was just my kids but when the twins were 5 and still a little bit now, they had a strange obsession with balloons?)
