I’ve been looking for a printable positive reinforcement chart for my kids, but haven’t had much luck finding a good one. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find these? Preferably something that’s free and easy to print at home. I’m open to different styles or themes, just need something that’ll work for tracking good behavior and rewards. Thanks in advance for any help!
I’ve been using a DIY approach for chore charts lately. We grabbed some poster board and markers, and my kid helped design it. We keep it simple with just a few tasks each week.
The fun part is how we track progress. Instead of stickers, we use small magnets shaped like stars. My kid loves moving them from the ‘to-do’ side to the ‘done’ side.
We also have a weekly challenge task that changes. If it’s completed, we do something special together on the weekend. It’s been working pretty well so far.
I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing! My 5-year-old is just starting to help around the house, and I wanted a chart to track progress.
I ended up making a simple one in PowerPoint with clip art. It’s not fancy, but it works for now. My kid likes putting stickers on it.
I’m curious what others have found. Are there any websites with free templates? Or apps that let you customize and print charts? I’d love something a bit nicer looking than my homemade version.
Have you tried making your own chart yet? What kind of behaviors or tasks are you hoping to track?
I’ve found making our own charts works really well for us. We use colorful paper and stickers from the dollar store. The kids love picking their favorite characters or themes.
We keep it simple with just a few goals each week. Things like cleaning up toys or helping with dishes. When they do well, we add a sticker. At the end of the week, if they have enough stickers, they get to pick a small reward.
It’s been great seeing how excited they get about earning stickers. And it’s flexible so we can change things up when needed. Maybe try creating your own chart? It can be a fun activity to do together too.
I remember when my kids were younger, we tried several different charts before settling on a simple one. I created a basic table in Word with the days of the week and a few chores listed. The kids then added their own touch with stickers and drawings, which made the daily routine feel more personal.
For my son, the chart involved tasks like taking out the trash and walking the dog. My daughter’s version included setting the table and folding laundry. We limited it to 3-4 tasks so it wouldn’t feel overwhelming.
I learned that understanding what each child found motivating and being consistent helped our routine stick over time. Allowing them to choose a small reward at the end of the week, whether it was extra screen time or selecting the weekend’s movie, brought everyone on board. 
Found some decent templates on Pinterest. Simple to print and customize.
My kids like picking themes. Dinosaurs for my son, unicorns for my daughter.
We focus on daily tasks like making beds and homework. Works pretty well so far.
