Name Cards (Week 2 A.I.T.I.)

If you decide to use door prizes for your class, I find using name cards very helpful. If you do, you will use these beginning in week 2.

I like to print off name cards onto heavy cardstock and print their names on the line provided. Here is an photo of what one looks like.(A master sheet with 6 blank name cards is included in the Colored Graphics package from the Leader’s Guide available for purchase on this site.)

I also laminate them using a 9 x 12 sheet of clear laminate as a way of prolonging the life of the cardstock, although this certainly is not necessary.

I keep the cards in a small container. I use a small, rectangular-shaped plastic container with a divider down the middle, which also has a lid. I use this for storing the cards from week to week.

Once class is underway, I pass the container around. If a student has completed her homework, she takes her name card from the side of the container with all the student name cards in it and places hers in the other side that says “completed homework.” If she hasn’t done the homework, her card remains where it is.

When everyone has finished passing around the container, I take the cards from the completed-homework side, turn the cards upside down in my hands, and have a student draw for the winner. The winner is then awarded the door prize and we all take a few moments to enjoy watching her unwrap her “treasure.”
