How a reward chart works at home

Three steps, in this order. Skipping the second one is why most charts stop after a week.

Step 1

Pick 3 to 5 tasks

Choose things your child can already do most days: teeth, shoes on, toys in the bin. The chart builds a habit, it does not teach a new skill.

Step 2

Agree on the reward first

Write the reward on the chart before the first star. Small and soon beats big and far away: a park trip on Saturday, not a bike in June.

Step 3

Stick the star right away

The star goes on within a minute of the task, by the child, every time. That is the whole trick, and it is why the chart lives on the fridge, not in a drawer.

Print it, then stick it to the fridge

Sticker paper that fits every chart on this site, and the bits that keep a chart up all week. Links go to Amazon and we may earn a commission.

Goes with the charts

Magnets, laminating and the stars that go on the chart.

Sign up and get custom stickers with your child's name

Leave an email and on the next page you type your child's name, pick a look, and download a sticker sheet, a star chart and a chore chart made just for them. Free, made in your browser, print at home.

No newsletter unless you ask for one. The stickers are made on the next page, nothing is emailed.

Charts by age

A chart for a 3 year old and a chart for a 9 year old are different tools. Start here if you are not sure which to print.

Questions parents ask us

Do reward charts work?

They work for building a specific daily habit over 2 to 6 weeks when the reward is agreed in advance and the star is given right away. They work badly as a general behavior scoreboard. Our age guides explain how to set one up so it does not fizzle out.

What size should I print?

Every free chart comes as letter and A4 PDF. Print at 100 percent, not "fit to page", so the boxes stay the right size for a half inch star sticker.

Can I edit the tasks?

The free PDFs have blank task lines so you can write your own. Premium sets include a fillable PDF you can type into before printing.

How do you make money?

Some links on this site go to Amazon. If you buy through them we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. The printable charts are free either way.
