Hello, My children participate in the summer reading club sponsored by our local public library. Each year there is a theme, and the children's coordinator tries to find prizes that tie in with the theme. Last year the theme was something like "Daring Deeds and Dragons," which had a wizard and castle theme; and this year it is "Paws and Claws, Scales and Tales," with an animal theme. Most of the prizes are donated by patrons or local businesses. We always get two free games at the local bowling alley and a free cup of yogurt at TCBY. Other prizes include free dessert or kid's meal at a place like TGIF and McDonald's. As prizes, we've gotten stuffed animals, puzzle books and stickers.
Zerach.com is a good place for Jewish stickers. Taking pictures of kids with their favorite books and posting them in a prominent place is also a good incentive. Good luck!
