Ticket Out the Door- Throwback Thursday

Earlier this summer a sweet lady named Brenda from Georgia tracked me down about my "Ticket Out the Door" sign. She wanted to make one in pink. I asked her to send me a pic and she did!  Now... I gotta admit.. I think it is way cuter than mine!!! She used leftover scrapbook paper for the boxes. Neat!

Here is my original post from Friday, February 1st:

Ticket Out the Door!
Hello bloggy friends!
I just wanted to share a little poster I made for my exit tickets.  I saw several of these floating around Pinterest, but decided to jazz mine up a bit!  I love giving the students a problem to solve or a "ticket out the door."  Not only is is motivational, and gets them working,  it is a great way to assess learning in a quick way.  I put a problem or question on the board, and the kiddos answer on a 3 x 3 sticky note.  On the way out, they place the sticky on their corresponding number.  Also a quick way for me to check who completed the task as well.

I made my chart using a standard black poster board and some colored paper.  I cut the paper squares into 3-1/2" squares and glued those puppies down.  I used a 1" round punch for the circles and wrote the numbers with a good 'ol Sharpie.  Then I laminated the whole thing.  (I love to laminate!)   Easy-peasy and the kiddos think it is super cool.  They actually beg me to give them "tickets" out the door!

  1. Cute Versions! How often do you implement the ticket out the door?

    1. I do tickets maybe once or twice a week. I don't want them to get too burnt on them. I find that it does help speed up my slow pokes a bit though, and adds the sense of urgency. The kids think it is really fun.

  2. What a great idea! I was inspired by you to make ticket shaped rectangles for my poster this year.

  3. I love this idea-parking lot posters were too random for me- I have 4 science classes and I am going to make four color coded boards-put grommets at the top so that I can easily flip them when the next class comes in. Thanks for sharing!
