Level Coins - Rewarding Education for Kids by Dragon2781

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Hi, I made this 'Level Coins' to educate my little son (4 years) to behave better in problem-activities while having fun.
It is an education method that uses collectable coins to reward the kid for good behaviour.
Preperation:
Think about what problems you want to solve, what things are difficult for you and your kid.
We had four main problems (for example):
1st. To get my son to brush his teeth by himself.
2nd. He should be nice to other kids in Kindergarten.
3rd. He should clean up his room before he goes to bed.
4th. He should go to bed in time.
So I made a sheet of paper with little pictures for all this activities for every day for a whole week.
(4 activities per day for 7 days = 28 pictures)
Then I 3D printed 20 'Level Coins' and the Pod to collect them.
How it works:
Every time the kid is behaving good in this problem-activities it gets a 'Level Coin', puts it into the Pod and can check off the picture on the paper with a pen.
If the behaviour is not good the kid get's no 'Level Coin' and the picture gets crossed out on the paper.
If the behaviour in other situations is really bad you also can threat to remove a 'Level Coin' from the Pod.
If the kid collects 20 'Level Coin' it gets rewarded. For example with a new toy or special activities like a day in a theme park.
Good luck and have fun :)
