A reward chart with the reward written on it
Most sticker charts sold as downloads are a grid and nothing else, which is why they stop working by Wednesday: nobody wrote down what the stickers are for. This one has two ruled lines under the grid headed "My reward when the chart is full", and it is the most important part of the page.
- One row per behaviour, one square per day for a sticker or a check
- Age-matched starter goals for toddlers, kids, and tweens — or write your own
- Ruled lines for the reward itself, so everyone agrees up front
- 10 printable styles, free with no account and no watermark

How to make yours, in about a minute
- 1
Choose the age band closest to your child to load a starter goal list.
- 2
Cut it down to two or three goals — a reward chart is not a chore list.
- 3
Agree the reward with your child and write it on the lines at the bottom.
- 4
Print it and put it somewhere the whole family walks past.
- 5
Add a sticker or a check the moment it's earned, not at the end of the day.
Why reward charts stop working, and how to keep this one alive
The usual failure isn't that rewards don't motivate children — it's that the chart outlives the thing it was for. A chart with six behaviours on it is really six charts, and a child who misses three of them on Monday has already learned the week is a write-off. Two or three targets is the whole trick.
The second failure is a vague reward. "A treat at the weekend" is not something a five-year-old can picture on a Tuesday. Something concrete and small — chosen by them, written on the page in their handwriting if they can manage it — is worth far more than something generous and abstract.
Reward chart, chore chart, or habit tracker?
They look nearly identical and they do different jobs, which is why all three exist here rather than one chart with three names. A chore chart is the household's work, and it isn't optional. A habit tracker is a practice the child is building for themselves, and the streak is the reward. A reward chart is for the small number of behaviours you're actively coaching right now, and it ends when they stick.
If you find yourself printing the same reward chart for six months, that's the signal to move those rows onto the chore chart or the habit tracker and start a new reward chart on whatever is difficult now.
Stickers, checks, or something else
The squares are sized for a standard reward sticker, and they work just as well with a pen. Some families use a different colour per day, some let the child draw whatever they like in the square. None of that changes what the chart does; what matters is that the child is the one filling it in.
Making it yours
Every line on this chart is editable: the title, the instruction underneath it, the reward heading, the day columns, and the footer. Swap the days for "Morning / Afternoon / Evening" if you're working on something that needs checking three times a day rather than once, and turn the pictures off if your child finds them babyish.
Questions
What age is a reward chart for?
They tend to work best from around 2 to 9. Younger children need an immediate reward and very few rows; older children usually respond better to an agreement than a chart.
Should I take stickers away for bad behaviour?
Most guidance says no — a chart that can go backwards teaches that effort is erasable, and children tend to give up on it. Leave what's earned, and start fresh next week.
Can I use this as a potty training chart?
Yes. Clear the goal list, add one or two potty-related rows, and set the reward to something immediate. It's the same grid.
Do I need to buy stickers?
No. The squares work with a pen, a stamp, or anything a child enjoys putting in a box.
Is it really free?
Yes, no account or payment, and the PDF has no watermark.
