Starter Pack Reward Chart
As you might know, we’ve been busy sending out our printed Starter Pack resources to teachers in schools across the country. (You can find out more on this blog post here, or order here.)
One of our favourite resources included is the A2-sized sticker/wall chart, designed to get students working together to collect stickers for their team. From the offset, you can encourage positive attitudes and brilliant efforts in your students, not to mention key teamwork skills. The sticker chart makes the learning process fun and motivates children to keep improving and progressing.
When a student produces an outstanding piece of work, displays exemplar behaviour, or accomplishes some other goal or achievement, they earn a colour dot sticker for their team. It is up to you though, as the teacher, to decide the ultimate prize for the winning group with the most stickers on the chart at the end of term!
These are not just any ordinary teams labelled by a colour, however. Each team is led by one of the many magical animals in the Night Zookeeper story, each with their own personality and a story to tell:
Sam the Spying Giraffe - The Night Zookeeper’s funniest and dearest friend. Sam, like his fellow Spying Giraffes, has the ability to make himself invisible and Sam loves to disappear into the shadows to listen to other animals’ conversations and report back hilarious and useful snippets to the NZK.
Grudge the Bear - A revered veteran warrior who once defeated the Lord of Nulth in the Great Battle many years before the present NZK’s time.
Old Sea Lion General - The riddling commander of the navy Seals, he patrols the border fences of the zoo, guarding it from monsters. The NZK often relies on the reader to solve his ridiculous riddles.
The Penguin Professor - The Penguin Professor observes human visitors to the zoo during the day and studies their habits for his phd on ‘The Eccentricities of Human Behaviour’. He teaches the Night Zookeeper about the other animals and loves solving puzzles and drinking hot chocolate. He lives in Igloo City with his assistant Ant, who is an actual ant.
Florence Flamingo - A frontier doctor of great intelligence and caring, she has healing feather and is the leader of the Frontier Flamingos – a troupe of caring birds that nurse the sick animals of the zoo.
