V.I.P. Table and a FREEBIE

One of the new ideas that I am so excited to implement in my classroom this school year is a V.I.P. table!  I heard about this idea last summer at the National I Teach K! Conference in Las Vegas, but I had too many other new and exciting ideas to get it going last year.  If you haven't heard of a V.I.P table, it is a good behavior incentive that allows students who exemplify good behavior to sit at the table and be the envy of everyone else in the class have special privileges.  

In my room, two V.I.P. students will have access to smelly gel pens, fun pencils, and colored pencils.  They will also (I think, jury is still out) be able to use a staple-free stapler and tape for some work.  They have special chair backs that say "King of the Classroom" and "Queen of the Classroom."  They will also get to carry our stuffed class pets with them for the day.  

Here is a snapshot of what my table looks like:

I also will have V.I.P. brag tags for my two students to wear for the day.  I have included this file as a freebie for you below (just click the text below the picture to download)!

Do you use a V.I.P table?  If so, what are some challenges you face, or what are your favorite things about it?  If not, what is something new you are trying in your classroom this year?
