Play money is used as an incentive and a reinforcement of behavior changes. Less money is given for being late or not having the needed materials. Money is given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the games. The final class is an auction where participants can buy real things with their play money. The course can be taught in several different time frames but seems to work best if taught in two to two and a half hour weekly sessions.
