COLOURING IN INCENTIVE 

Students are given a sheet of food pictures. Teachers decide on the rules of when students are allowed to colour in a food (for example, they can colour in a food each time they complete a puzzle, complete a worksheet, show that they've been practicing, behave well in their lesson - you can tailor the rules to suit individual students)
