Above and Beyond Kids

I'm very lucky at my school. I have a lot of students who like to go the extra mile, challenge themselves further and enjoy being provided with little incentives!

Last year I did a "riddle of the week" with these riddles from Music in Motion 

I posted it on my "FYI" bulletin board outside of my classroom. They submitted their answers and I drew one every Friday and that person recieved a prize from the "Prize Bowl" in my office. It has candy, pencils, erasers, little toys, basically things I get at the book fair with my extra money the PTA gives me, or things I find in the dollar bins at Target and Michaels!

The excitement from the Riddle has died down so I decided I needed something new and fresh... I went to pinterest! What a great place to spark new ideas, or steal ideas from!

Here is what I came up with!

My plan is to give everyone with a correct answer a prize from the "Prize Bowl" and change the musician each month. This is fun because the kids have to really go the extra mile and research who the musician is.
