How to Use the Reward Chart Generator
- 1. Choose the chart. A sticker chart is a grid of numbered boxes with a reward at the end; a behaviour chart has your goals down the side and the days of the week across; a token board is a short row of tokens to fill with a reward box underneath.
- 2. Make it yours. Type a title, add the child's name and what they are working for, and choose a shape — star, heart, circle or square — and a colour. For a behaviour chart, enter up to ten goals, one per line, and pick Monday to Friday or a seven-day week.
- 3. Fit your stickers. Small boxes are 15 mm (5/8 inch), medium 20 mm (3/4 inch) and large 25 mm (1 inch). If the boxes you ask for will not fit the page, they shrink and a notice tells you; use fewer boxes for bigger ones.
- 4. Print at 100%. Pick Letter or A4 and print with the scale on Actual size, headers and footers off, so the boxes stay the size you chose. Print on card stock for a chart that will be handled every day.
Which Chart Fits
| Chart | How it works | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Sticker chart | Every success earns a sticker in the next numbered box; the last box is the reward | Young children, one goal at a time — brushing teeth, using the potty, reading each night |
| Behaviour chart | Goals down the side, days across; a shape is marked or stickered for each goal each day | Several goals at once, in a classroom or at home, with a weekly total |
| Token board | Each token fills a shape; a full row earns the reward shown in the box | Immediate, visible progress in short stretches, such as a lesson or a morning |
Setting Up a Chart That Works
- Pick goals a child can see themselves doing. "Hang up my coat" is clear; "be good" is not. Wording goals as what to do — "use kind words" — gives the child something to aim for, rather than a list of things to avoid.
- Keep it short enough to finish. Ten to fifteen boxes suit younger children, and a token board of five or six tokens gives quick wins. Long charts with a far-off reward lose interest.
- Start easy. A chart the child can complete in the first few days builds momentum. You can raise the bar on the next chart.
- Make the reward concrete and small. An extra story, a choice of game or time with a parent often motivates better than a toy, and the reward is easy to give the same day.
- Mark it together. Let the child place the sticker or colour the shape, and say what they did. Keep what has been earned: a star does not come back off.
Charts are tools, not rules, and what suits one child will not suit another; adjust the goals, size and reward as you learn what works. The charts are drawn in your browser and nothing you type is uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many boxes should a sticker chart have?
- For younger children, ten to fifteen boxes keeps the reward within reach — about two weeks if there is one sticker a day. Older children can manage thirty or more. Choose the number in the Boxes list, from 10 to 60, and the chart makes the boxes as large as it can for the page.
- What size are the boxes, and which stickers fit?
- Small boxes are 15 mm (about 5/8 inch), medium 20 mm (3/4 inch) and large 25 mm (1 inch). Standard 3/4 inch round dot stickers fit the medium box, and the star and heart outlines are drawn at that same size. If the boxes do not all fit the page, they shrink and the notice appears.
- How do I make a chore chart?
- Choose Behaviour chart, then list the chores as the goals — Make my bed, Feed the dog, Set the table — and pick the days. Each day the child marks the shape beside a finished chore, and the total column gives the weekly count. Use a seven-day week if chores happen on weekends.
- What rewards work for a reward chart?
- Small rewards that arrive soon after the chart is full tend to work best: extra reading time, a choice of game, a trip to the park or a special breakfast. Agree the reward beforehand and write it on the reward line so the child can see what they are working for.
- Can I print a blank chart to fill in by hand?
- Yes. Clear the goals for a behaviour chart and it prints a blank grid, and clear the reward and name for a chart with empty lines to write on. For a sticker chart or token board, only the title, name line and reward line are text, so you can leave them empty.
- What is a token board and how does it work?
- A token board is a row of empty shapes with a reward box. Each time the child shows the target behaviour, they get a sticker or a mark in the next shape; when the row is full they earn the reward in the box. Boards are small, so you can print up to four on a page and cut them apart.
- Will it fit on my paper?
- Yes. Charts are drawn at the real size of Letter or A4 paper with a 0.5 inch margin on Letter and 12 mm on A4, so nothing is cut off by the printer. Sticker charts use portrait by default and behaviour charts landscape, and you can switch either.
