Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Classroom Rewards - Candy or Not? I usually give candy (Dum Dums) for small rewards in my classroom. With so much emphasis on healthy eating lately, what other small rewards could I give my students for following classroom routines? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As a healthy alternative, I started giving out mini packs of Cheez Its and Goldfish. I also use sugar free candy and the students do not know the difference.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: IF I was in this situation, I would use this solution.

It really just depends on the school district you are in, when you want to give food as a reward.

I don't see a huge difference. And some people would prefer candy made with real sugar than the artificial sweeteners in sugar free candy.
