A Do-It-Yourself S’mores Kit is my “teacher’s choice” award for my best practicers at the year-end recital.
Students who met their practice goal for 30 out of 36 weeks of the lesson year get this award. So do students who consistently practice over and above their minimum practice goal; usually, 15 to 20% above or more.
I used to order medals for this award, until I decided that what kids really want is something yummy to eat. So, now I make DIY S’mores Kits. The instructions are here; I modify the contents depending on the packaging I can find.
I top it off with a punny label like this one. Here’s a whole sheet of labels you can print out to create this. Use white address labels, 1″ x 2-5/8″, 30 per sheet (Avery template 8160). Stick the labels on black card stock and cut them out with about 1/4″ of card showing around each edge of the label. Punch a small hole in the upper left corner, and feed a piece of twine or raffia through it. Center the label on a length of twine long enough to tie the kit shut, with some left over for a nice bow.
