  1. PAX Good Behavior Game Active Ingredients and Comparisons to Prior Iterations

  2. Good Behavior Game Invention • Dr. Muriel Saunders, a 4th grade teacher, invented the Good Behavior Game in 1967, and the first experimental results were published two years later. Barrish, H. H., Saunders, M., & Wolf, M. M. (1969). Good behavior game: Effects of individual contingencies for group consequences on disruptive behavior in a classroom. Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2(2), 119-124.

  3. Proven Short Term Effects All studies of the Game show it has powerful, immediate benefits for classroom attention and learning—such as these data from Cook County

  4. Key Original Parts of the Game • Multiple teams in the classroom • Teacher uses game during normal instruction • Teacher plays game 3 times per day, using a timer • Teacher responds unemotionally to rule breaking, marking point against child’s team • Children earn simple reward for achieving low number of points against team (rewarding children for self-control, emotional regulation and not attending the antics of others) • Challenges to “raise the bar” happen

  5. Visual non-verbal cues added during and between games (Medland and Stachnik, 1972) Academic enhancement strategies (Harris and Sherman, 1973) Peer coaching and public recognitions/praise (Hegerle, Kesecker, and Couch, 1979) Coaching strategies (Johnson, Turner, and Konarski, 1978) Children help create the “rules” for the game (Fishbein and Wasik, 1981). Play game during transitions (Fishbein and Wasik, 1981). Adaptations for special education (Darveaux, 1984) Activity rewards instead of candy (Kosiec, Czernicki, and McLaughlin, 1986) Adaptations for older and younger kids (Salend, Reynolds, and Coyle, 1989; Swiezy, Matson, and Box, 1991). Peace/PAX language (Embry et al., 1996; Flannery et al, 2003) PAX GBG Research-Based Enhancements
