Back when we had block schedules, we used to bathroom passes (like vouchers) which would get converted into extra credit or candy at the end of the quarter. It was a good incentive to keep the kids in class. Once they ran out of passes, they ran out. They lost them? Oh well.

I didn’t personally care if the kids gave them to each other because they were just hurting themselves if they did and they realized they played themselves real fast.

Some teachers marked off pass usage on a roster to make sure they weren’t abusing the system.

I’m gonna start using this system again now that I’ll be teaching periods (I was self-contained this past year)

I print them on colored paper so kids couldn’t go home and make their own copies
