8 Staff Attendance Incentives that Build Belonging
Options to turn consistent attendance into a shared moment of team recognition.

Staff Self-Care Bingo
A staff wellbeing bingo board to help teachers and staff build simple self-care habits.
Alissa Christensen
A bingo board filled with simple self-care habits that staff can check off at their own pace. Give each person a card to complete solo, or turn it into a shared challenge with a bulletin board the whole staff fills in together.
Why try it
Build a habit of noticing and celebrating staff wellbeing with a low-prep activity anyone can join. The bingo format gives staff a menu of small, doable actions like taking a walk, unplugging for an evening, or reaching out to a colleague.
Running it as a shared bulletin board adds a layer of connection: staff sign their names next to completed squares, so wins become visible to the whole team and easy to celebrate together.

Instructions
1
Print and set up
Print the included bingo cards. For individual bingo, hand out one card per staff member or share it digitally. For the whole-staff version, print the bulletin board pages and post them somewhere central, like the staff lounge, with pens nearby.
2
Set a timeframe
Choose how long the challenge will run, such as one week or a month. Share the timeframe with staff along with the goal: check off self-care actions as they complete them.
3
Collect completed cards
For individual bingo, designate a turn-in spot, like the office or staff lounge, where staff can drop off finished cards. For the whole-staff board, staff sign their name directly on the board next to each square they complete.
4
Celebrate wins
Offer a small prize or shout-out to staff who get a bingo. At the end of the challenge, collect completed cards and draw a few names for extra prizes to close things out.

Additional tips for running this resource.
Leader Tip #1
Check in along the way
Ask staff about their self-care wins during a staff meeting or in passing. It keeps the challenge visible without adding pressure.
Leader Tip #2
Keep the board visible
Post the bulletin board version somewhere staff pass by daily, like near the copier or by the sign-in sheet, so it stays top of mind.
Leader Tip #3
Gather ideas for next time
Ask staff which squares they enjoyed most, and use their feedback to shape future wellbeing activities.
