Behavior Treasures

I have really been needing to find a behavior/ award system mainly for Bella. Benjamin will want to play along too. I've seen all different kinds and tried a couple, but this is my latest. Matthew 6:21 says " For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." The kids are obsessed with pretend pirate play and the pirate park that is nearby our house so I though this would be perfect! I got some coins and put them in a pirate's loot bag and hung it next to the Treasure Chart. When they earn a coin they put it in their little treasure chest bank that sits in front of the other treasure chest full of goodies. Bella can earn a coin for making her bed, obeying the first time, picking up toys, practicing her memory verse for Awana's, etc. Or she can lose coins from bad decisions. Then, if she wants gum, TV time, to invite a friend over, or to pick something out of the treasure chest she has to give her coins that she's earned back to me. There are a few different levels with the treasures getting bigger at each one. She has 2 or 3 choices for each level too. We are all set up and ready to go! We'll see how it works this week! Arrrrrrrg!
