Ice Cream Challenge: Idea #322

When I was a kid our elementary school did the Ice Cream Challenge. The way it worked was the last month of school every student was given a page to write down the books they read. There was a space on the page for parents to sign off to verify that their child actually read the book. If you read 100 books by the end of the ice cream challenge, you got to put an ice cream scoop or ice cream toppings on the school principal. As a kid everyone wanted to participate and contribute. It was a great way to get kids reading. Maybe you could try something similar in your own classroom.
