This was posted on the HS side of this site I know a lot of youth guys dont go over there much We use both dog tags and wrist bands to help us teach and reward character themes and reaching different "levels" Great place to buy these- and very very inexpensive: www.theawristocrat.com/personalized-id-dog-tags.html |

Good stuff, Dave. Thanks for sharing the link! Definitely going to use these with my 5th/6th graders this year.
Do you have any examples of dogtag designs you have used? I played around with the design function on the site but would like to see what others have come up with.

Forgive my lack of imagination, but I saw the discussion in the HS section and looked at the website, and I'm just not sure what the kids are going to do with the dog tags and how you use them as motivators. Do they wear them on a chain around their necks? Under their pads or just outside of practice and games? Or are you doing something else all together, like putting them on key chains? In our league (and most that I know of) kids aren't allowed to wear jewelry on the field, even under their pads.
How exactly do use them as motivators? I can envision several scenarios, but if any of y'all are using something like this effectively, I'm sure what you're doing is better than whatever I'd come up with on my own, so please share. I'm intrigued by this, so I may very well adopt it if someone can walk my feeble brain through the steps of implementation.
Again, I'm sorry you have to spell it out for me, but I'm curious to see what y'all are doing with this. Thanks.

Doug
We do weekly Character Themes for all 3 of my teams
We do an e-mail story, poster they print out and we do a discussion on Thursday
The players that exhibit that trait in a big way that week are awarded one
Kids LOVE that kind of stuff and wear them to school--show off- free advertising for your program
