Draw a student's name from the jar; if student has shown "superhero" traits for the day, then the student gets a prize (or sticker on a chart - reach a set number of stickers and gets to sit in a "superhero" chair for a day). If the student that is drawn from the jar did not show "superhero" traits, the name gets put back (never mention the name) and the teacher mentions that the "superhero" needs to try again.
