I think it's great to think about lots of different kinds of motivations for participating--and about the fact that a lot of kids really WANT to be doing something useful and helpful, and really like a chance to do that.IFLS Youth Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892945909381149319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175652458700347449.post-20181542514008308742013-08-21T09:55:07.935-05:002013-08-21T09:55:07.935-05:00We offer an Adopt an Animal prize option during SL...We offer an Adopt an Animal prize option during SLP, which participants can choose in place of a gift certificate/coupon. Through the local zoo, we "adopt" an animal each summer, and the zoo sends us 50 trading cards with the animal's picture and facts on them. When participants choose the Adopt and Animal prize, they get to sign a greeting card to the animal, and they get a trading card for keeps. We send a check to the zoo at the end of the summer (usually $1 per child who selected the prize). We also send the signed greeting card. We've gotten a lot of great feedback about this prize option!
