Silly Bandz in the Classroom: PROS

  • Inexpensive reward for positive behavior. Your kids will be drooling over these and will do whatever you ask to get one.
  • Use the Alphabet Silly Bandz for Preschool and Kindergarten to learn the alphabet.
  • Use them in a teaching lesson for grouping, compare and contrast, writing prompts, etc. Your kids are sure to be engaged in the lesson!
  • Use them as a classroom behavior method. Buy one pack of Silly Bandz, then students must earn one Silly Band at a time to eventually earn an entire set of Silly Bandz to participate in a special activity.

Silly Bandz in the Classroom: CONS

  • Your school may not allow Silly Bandz, and your kids may not be allowed to wear them.
  • There is a slight risk that they may cut off hand circulation.
  • Silly Bandz could end up being a distraction to learning.
  • It could become more about Silly Bandz than about learning.

Will Silly Bandz have a positive or negative result in your classroom? You Decide!
