Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a game in which children are rewarded for their good behavior. In one embodiment, the game includes a plurality of strips that include written messages of positive reinforcement. When the child acts in a manner that is praiseworthy, the parent instructs the child to remove a strip with a printed message, instructs the child as to the meaning of the message and the spelling of the message, and instructs the child to form the strip into a ring that is placed on a chain of other such strips. When the chain reaches a predetermined position (such as in contact with the floor or a predetermined number of links in the chain) the child receives a reward.
