Behavior Bingo • Behavior Bingo is designed to be a whole class “Paws”-itive reward system. There are 100 squares on the board with 10 numbers in a row. Once the class, fills up an entire vertical line of numbers, the WHOLE class receives a “reward”. Here are some things that can earn numbers for the class. • Walking in line quietly as a class • Quiet transitions • Outstanding cafeteria behavior • Working well as a class
