Award tokens for good behavior and completed work that can be traded in for various prizes and activities on a weekly basis.

That way, students know how many points they have and how many more points they need to do or obtain what they want. Keep a small jar filled with jellybeans on your desk. After students have completed all their assignments, they can guess how many jellybeans are in the jar.
