   Mystery Reward Cards

   Print and cut the Mystery Reward Cards apart and put them in a small container. Have the student draw one when they come to the lesson and try to win a treat by illustrating the statement on the card, OR you can have them draw the card at the end of the lesson to see if their performance showed that characteristic OR you reveal the "card of the week" for every student either before or after their lesson.
