One of the ways I reinforce students for following classroom PE rules is to reward them with Fitbucks. To earn Fitbucks students must work together to follow all gym and school rules throughout the entire time they are in PE class. 

PE Rules may include:

• Good sportsmanship
• Cooperation
• Good listening skills
• Follow directions in a timely manner

Fitbucks are awarded when the entire class follows all rules during their PE class. A class can earn only 1 Fitbuck per PE class. Once 6 Fitbucks are earned, the class can redeem them for a gym class activity of their choice.  The activity is voted on and the majority rules.  Once a Fitbuck is earned it cannot be taken away.     

I design my Fitbucks on regular paper, make copies in black and white and post them at the end of the class period. You can post the name of the classes on your wall and then put the earned Fitbucks under the classroom teachers name. That way students know how many they have.

After the class earns 6 they start over again.

Variations:

• Could award a captain, hand him/her the Fitbuck and have them keep track of the Fitbucks earned in their classroom.
• Classroom teacher could keep track of the Fitbucks earned.
• Could have a contest amongst certain classes to see how many fitbucks could be earned in a month. Winning class gets a choice period.
