The Prize Drawing Game
The ‘Prize Drawing’ incentive game is a great way to motivate and reward your students while you can still impact your fundraising results. Your students will be able to turn in one prize coupon from their prize drawing coupon sheet for every 5 items sold from their sales brochure. By rewarding sellers as often as every day for selling, you will encourage them as well as their peers to keep on selling in order to have a chance to win lots of fun privileges and special prizes.
It is recommended that you draw out as many names as possible each time (minimum 5 students) so that more students will feel like they also have a chance to win. Make sure to announce at your fundraising kickoff where your students can turn in their prize coupons. We recommend have a specially designed prize coupon box that is easy for your students to identify. Conduct your drawings live during morning announcements so that everyone will know about it. The great thing is you don’t have to spend any extra money in order to motivate your students to bring in more fundraising sales by using this exciting game. Here are some wonderful ideas that you can incorporate as special privileges to give away to prize drawing winners when they turn in their prize coupons:
- ‘Line Leader’ for the Day
- ‘Classroom Leader’ for the Day
- ‘Office Monitor’ for the Day
- ‘Door Monitor’ for the Day
- ‘Breakfast or Lunch with the Principal’ (or a favorite teacher)
- ‘Free Dress Day’ Pass
- ‘Extra Recess Time’ Pass
- ‘No Homework for a Day’ Pass
- Help with Daily Announcements
- ‘Sit Where You Want’ Pass
- Free Library Pass
- 1 Free Snack (Of school’s choice)
- Ask local stores and restaurants to donate coupons (i.e. free pizza coupons)
- Low-cost prizes (find out of local toy stores will donate prizes in exchange for some free publicity)
Feel free to also incorporate your own great ideas as well.
