money+system

• Many teachers use a classroom money system as a way to encourage students to speak in Arabic.

1. Print and cut out fake/classroom money. You can copy real money and add your name, picture, class moto or other extras to clear yourself of illegal money copying issues. Also do not print it out at the same size as the original bill. For example:

2. According to your course goals and objectives, in addition to speaking Arabic, money can be given to students for:
 * good behavior
 * answering questions
 * making an extra effort
 * completing activities
 * winning games
 * etc.

3. Money can also be taken away if students are speaking English.

4. Teacher can also assign specific student(s) to be "monitor" for a day and give out the money (or take it away).

5. Accumulated money can be used in a variety of ways.
 * participation points
 * required points toward a grade
 * extra credit
 * make-up points on a test
 * free time at the end of the week
 * buy treats, prizes, a class party, or a movie
 * etc.
