Behaviour Reward Picker

Reward consistency, not just the big wins.

Tap the big button. No accounts, no sign-up.

How it works

Enter the names of students who hit the merit threshold this week.
Hit Pick — one random name is selected.
Pick multiple winners if you have multiple prizes to allocate.

Why use this tool

Removes teacher-favouritism perception in reward systems.
Two-stage legitimacy — earned the chance, the algorithm allocated the prize.
Students who hit the threshold know they have a real chance — not the certainty, just the chance.

When to use it

End-of-week class reward — pick from this week's threshold-hitters.
Termly major prize — pick from the term's top contributors.
Department-wide rewards — across multiple classes that hit the standard.

When to use Behaviour Reward Picker

Cold-calling a random student without accusations of bias.
Splitting groups fairly for group work or team activities.
Reward selection at end of a good lesson or week.
When you specifically want randomness — not a "recommendation engine", not a ranking, just an unbiased pick.

How the picker works

Behaviour Reward Picker runs entirely in your browser — no servers, no accounts, no data sent anywhere. Each pick uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random-number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues), which is uniformly distributed across the option pool.

The pool for this picker: 16 hand-picked options. Every option has an equal probability of being selected on any given pick (about 6.25% per option).

Picker-kind picks return a single random option from the pool. If you add your own options, they're weighted equally alongside the built-in set.

If you want a deliberately weighted pick (favouring some options over others), the picker isn't the right tool — try structuring the choice as a wheel with duplicated entries, or split into two picks (category first, then item within category).

About this category

Classroom pickers are the highest-utility tools on the site. Teachers use them daily for cold-calling, group generation, brain breaks, reward selection and behaviour management.

Everything here is deployment-tested — TES-compliant, GDPR-safe (no student data leaves the browser), works on smartboards and tablets.

FAQ

Are these all free?

Almost all — designed for school budgets. Some are time-based (free seat for a day, etc.), zero cost.

Should everyone qualify, or just the top N?

Threshold should be achievable — typically 50-70% of the class hits it in a normal week. If only 2-3 hit it, the threshold is too high.
