Get Your Plink On: The Ultimate Lunchtime Incentive Game
“I’ll tell you one thing, in what I do for a living, there’s no substitute for experience.”
One unique and fun idea for promoting positive student behavior during lunchtime is the "Cafeteria Plinko Game." This game involves a large board with a series of pegs on which well-behaved selected students can drop a “Winning Star Student” chip to win prizes. This disk or chip may bounce and land in one of several slots at the bottom of the board. Each slot corresponds to a prize or reward, such as extra recess time, a special treat, or even a chance to pick a song to play during lunch.
The Plinko Game is easily customizable and can be adapted to fit the needs of any school. Depending on what motivates their students, administrators, and teachers can easily swap out the prizes or rewards at the bottom of the board. For example, a school could have a "Healthy Eating Plinko Game," where each slot corresponds to a healthy snack or drink option that students can win during lunchtime. Alternatively, a school could have a "Snack or Lunch of Choice" where students could win some sweet and exciting treats! Who doesn't want to win ice cream?
Not only does the Plinko Game provide a fun incentive for students to follow the rules and exhibit positive behavior, but it also helps to build a sense of community and excitement during lunchtime. Students will look forward to the chance to play the game and win a prize, and the positive behavior incentive will encourage them to be on their best behavior during lunchtime.

Overall, incorporating fun games and incentives like the Lunch Time Plinko Game is a creative and effective way to promote positive behavior and order during lunchtime. By rewarding students for good behavior, schools can help create a positive and inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy their lunch break in peace.
