Here is one system I've used successfully for good behavior. We have a Dinosaur Tracks museum near our house that we have wanted to visit. I decided to use this to my advantage and printed off a couple dinosaur pictures online. I cut the top piece into puzzle-shape pieces and taped them over the bottom picture. When the kids were really nice or helpful or unselfish, they got to take a piece off the dinosaur picture. (Yes, the bottom picture sometimes ripped a little, but oh well.) Once the picture was uncovered, we went to the Dinosaur museum and had a lot of fun.If you're into negative reinforement, you could tape pieces back on when children misbehave. For my kids, I have found it works better to separate positive and negative disciplining tools, however.
Next, we'll do Jumping Jacks or swimming at the rec center or whatever is most motivational for the munchkins.
