How Do Kittens Token Boards Work?

Print, laminate, and cut out boards, tokens, and images. Then use Velcro to attach the desired images to the token and choice boards.

Token Boards are a fun and easy way to positively reinforce appropriate behaviors in the classroom. Research tells us that behavior that is reinforced is more likely to occur again. Token boards help us to target specific positive behaviors to reinforce, thus increasing the likelihood that students will continue to demonstrate them.

How Do Choice Boards Work?

Token boards are paired with Reinforcer Choice Boards. Adults and students work together to choose which reinforcers are available to be placed on the board (things that student would be interested in working for), and then students can pick what they want to work for each time they start to use the board.

*Hint: Offering fewer reinforcement options at a time can be helpful for younger students or students who have a hard time when presented with too many options.

On the other hand, offering more reinforcer choices at a time in the form of larger boards or changing the options available from day-to-day or week-to-week can help with the students who tend to satiate on certain items (get tired of working for the same thing repeatedly) or who need to feel a little extra control. 

The structured choices available with a Choice Board can help to alleviate power struggles by giving students the control they desire in an appropriate way.

Should I really reinforce a student for something they “should” be doing anyway?

Think of students earning reinforcers like an adult earning a paycheck. As paychecks encourage adults to go to work and do things that they wouldn’t engage in for fun, token boards encourage students to complete school-related tasks that they would not choose to do for fun, and they can be quite useful when working with students who struggle with compliance and whose behavior does not improve through the use of verbal praise alone.

I like the Kittens Token Board. Do you have other tools for reinforcing positive student behavior?

I have a variety of other token boards and PBIS tools for reinforcing positive behavior in my store, and I would love it if you would take a look.
