Motivational Games and Ideas
These are motivational games and ideas that were developed to help children develop good behavioral patterns and habits on an everyday basis. If you make being "good" fun and interesting, children will try harder, and life in your household may become a little more peaceful.
These games are flexible, so that you can change them to fit any behaviors you are currently trying to change, for example, doing chores, handing in schoolwork, doing homework, cleaning room, getting ready for school in the morning etc. Based on our experience, we have found the games work better when working on only one or two behavior issues at a time.
This month, I have taken the time to make the ideas easier to find.
Each page contains 5 motivational ideas;
Have fun, and come back often to see what new games are up. If you have any ideas and games you have used, please email us and let us know.
