Classroom Management Games for March and April

My students absolutely LOVE playing Classroom Management Games!  I have designed this game set for March and April to cover any behavior needs you need to cover.  You just choose the behavior focus before playing the game with your class.  These games target those behaviors while positively reinforcing students meeting your expectations.  Classroom games are played as a whole group and end with some sort of reward.  You can also play the games in teams, tables, or individually.  These games are also great if you are doing distance learning or homeschooling.  You can use these as incentives to complete activities and assignments during your day.  I have included a list of mostly free prize ideas in the resource.

I print the games on cardstock and laminate them.  I use Velcro dots to attach the game pieces to the game boards.

The Shamrock Challenge is a students vs. teacher behavior whole group behavior management tool.  Reward students for positive behaviors by giving the class side of the board a game piece.  For negative behaviors, the teacher side earns a game piece.  At the end of the day or class period, the class must exceed the teacher side for a reward!

Glow and Grow requires students to earn pieces by "glowing" to grow the flower by the end of the day.  If you are working on cleaning up, and students exhibit that behavior, they earn a piece.  I attach the pieces with velcro dots.  If it's not filled by the end of the day, they have to start over the following day.

It's raining compliments works the same way.  When students earn compliments from you or another adult in the building, the class earns a raindrop for their board.  You can require them to complete it by the end of the day or you can continue playing until it's full.

For Bunny BUMP, just choose what behavior you want to focus on.  When students do not meet expectations, the teacher gets to add a game piece to the board.  When a student meets your expectations, that student gets to add a game piece to the board.  The first with four in a row wins!  Don't forget that you can bump each other off the board!  They love bumping me off!  Lol!

For EGGcellent Behavior Hunt, you can play this game around Easter.  When you see students exhibiting EGGcellent behavior, they can add an egg to the basket.

Space Race requires students to earn pieces to build the rocket ship by the end of the day.  If you are working on staying on task or any other behavior, and students exhibit that behavior, they earn a piece.  I attach the pieces with velcro dots.  If it's not filled by the end of the day, they have to start over the following day.

These games have made all the difference with my class!  But I have to say that in order for them to work, it's up to you, the teacher, to keep them going.  You do have to keep reminding them of the game and make it competitive.  Stay positive and be an encourager.  You will begin to see your students mirroring those same qualities.

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of theliver already present. I started on antiviral medications whichreduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virusbecame resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment fromULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Theirtreatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test afterthe 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazingtreatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
