Participation Tickets

Leslie O-Donnell, a kindergarten teacher at Sedalia Park Elementary in Marietta, Georgia

I use a set of tickets that are pre-made and have the children's names on them for participation. I keep them in a basket in the front of the classroom. Whenever I am calling on students to recite, I pull out a name. I use the tickets throughout the day until every child has a chance to participate. My students love to practice reading the names on the tickets.
