As part of my classroom management routine I like to reward hard work, participation, achievement and good behaviour with stickers.

The sticker routine motivates pupils AND furthermore, it generates an authentic opportunity to speak Engish:

TEACHER: Well done, (name). Which sticker would you like?

PUPIL: Green, please. (short answer)

Can I have a green one, please? (long answer)

Can I have a big/little sticker, please?

Once the routine has been established, I let the pupils take it turns to hand out the stickers at the end of the lesson, and of course speak English in the process.

There are different versions of sticker charts available.

1) English title, e.g. I am a clevet cat, room for 20 big stickers

2)  English title, e.g. I am a fantastic fox, room for 10 big and 10 little stickers

3) no title, room for 20 big stickers

4) no title, room for 10 big and 10 little stickers.

N.B. Versions 3+4 can be used in other lessons are they are free of language.

I hope you have fun learning English with Brown Owl!
