Schools often use novelty items as incentive for students to perform well in school. These incentives can be an effective tool to motivate students' behavior, attendance and performance. There are numerous options when purchasing novelty items for a school, but consider the life of the item. Small toys or balls that easily break will end up in the trash within a few days. Selecting items the students can use for a long period will be more valuable to the students - Bracelets are a common reward for students, and children enjoy getting them. The bracelets can be worn, showing everyone they achieved their goals. This can also motivate other students to obtain their goals in order to earn their own bracelet. There are a variety of types of bracelets that are appropriate for both sexes. Woven friendship type bracelets, rubber bracelets, or terry cloth wristbands are both gender neutral and will appeal to boys and girls.
- Crayons or pencils printed with the school's name are a good option for novelty items. Students can use their crayons or pencil and will have the name of the school as a reminder of their achievements. These can be brought home to use or can be used during class. Students will be able to use their writing and drawing tools to do their class work. Using their pencils with a school logo during class will also encourage other students to work towards their own pencils. After the school year is over student will be able to use their pencils or crayons at home as a reminder of their school year.
- Personalized school folders with the school's mascot and name can be printed and used as incentives for students. Students will have a safe place to transport their homework to and from school. The folders can also be used at home to store completed homework or to save special papers or announcements from school.
