Behavior Bingo is a behavior incentive tool to add to your elementary classroom management plan. There is a Google Slides version and a PDF version. 

You can move over a piece to the bingo board for Google Slides when the students earn it. You can decide on what kind of reward system to implement. If students transition from one subject to another in a certain amount of time or if they are quiet in the hallway, they earn a bingo piece. 

This can be a part of the various classroom management strategies that you have already in your classroom. This can be used on a whiteboard or a bulletin board with the printable bingo boards and board pieces. You can laminate the board and pieces for longevity purposes. The bingo pieces can be cut out and placed in a basket or somewhere where they can be pulled out easily. When students earn a bingo piece, you or a student can pull out a bingo piece. An expo marker can be used to cross out the matching square. When students have earned four-in-a-row or have filled the whole bingo board, the students earn a reward. 

This is an excellent way to keep students motivated and your classroom management system running like a well-oiled machine. 

The product includes:

• 3 Google Slide Bingo Boards 

• 3 Printable Bingo Boards

• 3 Printable Bingo Board Pieces

THIS IS A HUGE BUNDLE of Adaptive Books! This huge bundle includes adapted books for all holidays, counting, colors and much more!

Right now there are 40 sets of adapted books included in this set worth $208.00! Each set includes multiple books giving you approximately 106 books to use with your students! PLUS, as I make additional books I just throw them into this set! These books will provide additional support and resources to your classroom all school year!

What is included?

This set includes a plethora of resources and it will keep you busy throughout the school year! I have included animals, holidays, counting, shapes, colors and more.

While many sets are made with the early literacy / early math skills in mind there are also books that can be used as your students grow their skills. I have even my biggest sellers are included in this massive bundle of 40 products!

Why Adapted books?

I personally love using adapted books. I have found them to be motivating to even my most reluctant learners. They are a great resource for such a wide range of learners as well as I can easily modify my instruction for the needs of each student.

I have used them with students who are just learning to sit in their seats and follow directions. Adapted books can easily be modified for students by providing less visual options.

I have also used them with student who are reluctant learners. They may already be confident in the skills presented in the books, however benefit from a learning activity they know they will do succeed with. It is a great starting activity!

Do you have a student who is working on identifying "wh" questions? Place a post it note over picture on each page. Read, ask the "wh" question, and your student can check their answer by checking under the post it note.

Once I have my books prepared they are sturdy, easily cleaned & stored. I store mine in a crate that supports hanging folders. They are sorted by topic and easy to grab and go. We use them in stations, with substitutes, my classroom aides, and when student want to read with peers. They are often requested as well!

How are they prepared?

These books do require some prior prep work. Once they have been created however they are able to be used year after year with a variety of students. I generally print, laminate, bind and velcro them so they can be reused. The adaptive books are designed with students ability to interact with learning material. Each book has interactive icons. Students will have options of 8-10 choices for each story.
