Pre-Kindergarten - 6th Grade

Punch or Stamp Cards Class Management

Using punch cards is a positive classroom management technique. Do you have students who are constantly shouting out answers? Or some who distract others and yes even, themselves? Punch cards encourage kids to demonstrate good behavior and complete work when it's due. This classroom tested method is very effective! Download my free punch cards to help kids who need reminders or assistance managing their behavior.

PLEASE NOTE: As of July 27, 2016, there are MORE punch cards and new reward stickers! Please download this packet again!
