Smelly Spots – Rewarding Positive Behavior, KindergartenWorks by Leslie @KindergartenWorks

This is a cute and interesting article about using chap stick to help increase positive good behavior.  When a student does a good task or goes beyond their daily routine to help out, the teacher puts a small spot of chap stick on the top of the student's hand.  It smells good so the student is able to smell the chap stick and remember what they did to earn that smelly spot.  They then can share the smell with other students and tell them about their good deed.  Using the sense of smell to help remind students what they did is a great way to encourage good behavior and allow students to share their experiences with other students.  I think I will try this with my daughters as well, this is right up their alley.
