Better Behavior gives families discipline creative options without spanking. When your child misbehaves,
spin the wheel and he or she is required to follow whatever consequence the arrow stops on.
Your child participates in choosing the consequences, so he or she will have an investment in the process and be much more willing to give the Wheel a spin when the time comes.
Just having the Wheel in your home can change the atmosphere overnight. It's guaranteed! Conflict resolution becomes much easier to deal with. Families who use the Wheel report dramatic changes in their households. Homework gets done, clothes get picked up, arguing stops...in short, the Wheel produces great kids and a stress free environment! The mere presence of the Wheel will have a marked effect on your kids. Chances are, you'll seldom even have to spin it!
The first player places his marble on the box and manipulating the box so the marble falls into hole#1. if
succeeds, he then tries for #2. If he doesn't succeed, it's the second
player's turn and player one will try for hole#2 on his next turn.
Players can choose any hole that has the right number. If the marble
goes in the wrong numbered hole, it's the next player's turn.
The first player who gets his marble in hole#5 wins!
Play game 1 as level one. After a player succeeds in getting his marbles into all 5 holes, he
begins stage 2, which means he starts from hole 2 through 5. When he
completes stage 2, he starts stage 3: holes 3-5, then stage 4, holes 4-5.
The first to stage 5 (just hole 5) wins.
Get as many points as possible. Players try to get their marble into the highest value
hole. Each player gets 5 marbles, 5 tries. Add up the values of the holes the marbles
enter.
The player with the highest score wins.
Place one marble of each player on board. Each player gets turn to manipulate to marbles on board.
Both players will get the value of their marbles. So the player must try to get his marble into the
high value holes, and his opponent's marble into low.
The player with the highest score wins.
Game for single player: Try to see how many turns it takes to progressively put the marble in holes 1-5. If on the first try,
he manages to put the marble in holes 1,2 and 3, then misses 4, on the next try,
he starts from hole 1 again.
The variations on these games seem endless.
Thanks to Judy N. and her boys for coming up with this idea and sending it in
