Good grades were always a big deal at our house when I was growing up. From 6th grade on, we got paid for A’s & B’s, nothing for a C, and if we had a D or F (even on a midterm!) we had to pay up! I loved it, especially since my grandparents also paid for A’s. Report cards were like my own payday and in high school, I was able to save on my auto insurance thanks to my grades.
Many chains have decided to start rewarding children (and parents) for good report cards! Here are some that we found:
Chuck E. Cheese – Chuck E. Cheese believes in the value of a good education. Have your child bring in their most recent report card and they will receive FREE tokens for good grades.
Krispy Kreme - Get a free original glazed donut for each A (up to 6 A’s).
Chick-fil-A – Bring in your all A’s and B’s report card and receive a FREE 8 pack nuggets!
Pizza Hut – Each marking period, any child who has 3 A’s or the equivalent thereof, will receive one Personal Pan Pizza and a small soft drink or carton of milk by presenting his or her report card to the manager. This offer is good for Elementary and Middle School students. Dine-in only. Student must be present and the original report card must be presented.
McDonalds – If your child has a straight “A” report card, he/she can receive a FREE Happy Meal. This may vary by location so call ahead first!
Topps – Getting good grades in school is always a priority. Now there’s an extra reward for studying hard. The Topps of the Class program has been created to give you a great trading card gift when you put your mind to work. Every time you bring in a report card to this store, the manager will award you with a gift. Work hard in school, receive cards. It’s that simple.
Family Video – Offers free rentals based on how well you did on your report card.
Blockbuster - Get a free family friendly movie rental for A’s on your report card!
Cheryl’s Cookies – Get up to 3 FREE Cookies for A’s. (Thanks Mission to Save)
As a homeschooling mom, I’m always collecting free materials that I know will come in handy later. This Learn our History DVD is one I know we will use. It focuses on the election process and comes with 2 free bonuses: live streaming & learning guides! The DVD is free, pay only $4.95 S&H. That’s less than most non-educational bargain bin movies!
You can watch some clips from the video here! I think this is something Cameron (7) and maybe even Connor (5) will enjoy. They also get to learn a little about previous presidents.
You may cancel at any time simply by calling Learn Our History at (877) US HISTORY. If you like the DVD & want to continue in the program, do nothing & you will continue to receive a new Learn Our History DVD, complete with FREE streaming, about once a month.

Right now you can grab a free month of ABCmouse.com! This is our favorite early learning program. The twins especially love it (Garrett is freaking out seeing the banner while I type this) and ask to do their “school” every day. They’ve had an account for over a year & haven’t lost interest yet. Garrett’s favorite activities are the songs & puzzles, while Gavin prefers to color (and print!) the same picture over & over.
As you can see below, there are lots of different options available in the classroom. The main activity choices are available across the top. You can also click on many things around the room to find new activities. The hamster & fish tank are popular choices at our house.
The learning path contains units to help them master skills. For the most part, my boys prefer to pick an activity and stick with those that appeal to them each day. Once they learned that they earn prizes and tickets for completing a lesson unit, they changed their minds. Tickets can be used to purchase things for their rooms, their hamsters, and their fish tanks.
One of my favorite things is that I pay one low price ($8 a month) for up to 3 children. The twins started off sharing one, but since Cameron is too old for the program we are going to delete his & split the twins apart. You can add more children, but they have to set it up for you. Since the twins were so little and were doing everything together, it was easier to just have them share one.
