Hello Everyone,
I bought some "punch cards" they look like business cards and they have twenty places you can punch on it. I want to punch the card when a resident attends a program. After they get their 20 punches I will give them some kind of prize (haven't come up with prize yet). Then their card goes into a box with other completed cards to be drawn every two months, and the one drawn will get a bigger prize.
My problem is, I have the same people come to my programs each day. I have 2-3 daily programs. How do I do it so they are not filling their cards up in two weeks? Do I punch the card only for the first time they come to the activity for the month? Like bingo is every Friday. Instead of punching their card every Friday, I do it once for the month of January?

Great idea. Where did you get your punch cards? The ones I have found only have 10 places to punch.
