✦ CLASS JAR · FREE TO START

A whole-class reward system the class fills together

Some rewards work best when the whole class earns them. Learnify has two: a class jar that gets a coin on every day the class ends in a good mood, and a class chest that saves everyone's points for one prize you choose.

Both are part of Learnify, a classroom management app for ages 5 to 18. They work on the free plan for one class of up to 30 students, and students need no devices or accounts.

By Rey, a teacher who makes Learnify.

The class jar

A marble jar the app fills for you, one good day at a time.

  1. Rate the day as it goes

    Open Tools, then Behavior. The whole class is on one board, and one tap gives a student one of four faces. The Everyone row rates the whole class at once.

  2. A good day drops a coin

    The class mood is the average of everyone's faces. A day that ends Good or Excellent adds a coin to the jar. A day with no ratings costs the class nothing.

  3. Ten coins fill the jar

    Learnify tells you when the jar is full. The party waits for you, so you choose the moment to start it.

  4. Party time

    Start the party, and every student on the class list gets 20 points and 10 skill points. Then the jar starts again from empty.

Students see faces and colours, never numbers, and a face never takes points away. A day that ends below Good adds no coin, and the coins already in the jar stay there.

The class chest

In the Prize Chest, a class chest puts everyone's gems into one pile. Every point you give any student adds a gem, and the bar fills toward the goal you set, from 100 to 1,000 gems.

A class chest on the class screen: the class is saving for its prize and has 34 of 100 gems
When the pile reaches the goal, you give the class its prize. You name the prize yourself, and it never costs points or levels.

Students can also save for prizes of their own in a class store. One chest runs in a class at a time, and the jar keeps filling beside it.

A boss the class beats together

In a classroom boss battle, every point a student earns hits a boss on the class screen, and everyone who dealt damage gets the reward when it falls. The class mood counts there too: a Good class hits 10% harder, and an Excellent one 25%.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. The class jar, the Prize Chest and boss battles work on the free plan for one class of up to 30 students.

Can one bad day empty the jar?

No. A day that ends below Good adds no coin, and the coins already in the jar stay. Only the party empties it.

Does one student decide the day?

The jar reads the class mood, which is the average of every student's face.

Can I run the jar and a class chest at once?

Yes. The jar fills from the day's faces, and the chest from the points you give, so they run side by side.

Do students need devices or accounts?

No. You run everything from your laptop, and on the class screen if you like. Students have no logins or passwords.
