How to use the Reward Chart Maker
- Enter the details: your child's name, the goal (for example 'Sleep in my own bed') and the reward.
- Pick the number of steps. Young children do best with 5–10; older kids can work toward 20–30.
- Choose a theme and, if you like, a different step shape, layout or color.
- Set the page: paper size, orientation and one or two charts per sheet.
- Download the PDF or print, then add a sticker or color in a shape each time the goal is met.
Suggested steps by age
| Age | Steps | Example goals |
|---|---|---|
| 2–3 | 3–5 | Use the potty, wash hands, put shoes on |
| 4–5 | 5–10 | Sleep in my own bed, brush teeth, get dressed by myself |
| 6–8 | 10–15 | Read for 15 minutes, practice piano, pack my school bag |
| 9–12 | 15–30 | Finish homework before screen time, feed the pet every day |
How to use a reward chart
- Agree on the goal together. Children are more motivated when they help choose the goal and the reward.
- Make it specific and achievable. The goal should be something they can succeed at most days.
- Reward straight away. Add the sticker as soon as the goal is met and say what they did well.
- Keep stickers earned. Taking stickers away for other behavior usually makes the chart feel unfair.
- Deliver the reward and move on. When the chart is full, celebrate, then start a new chart. Over time, fade charts out as the habit sticks.
Frequently asked questions
How many steps should a reward chart have?
Match the steps to your child's age and attention span. Toddlers and preschoolers need a reward quickly, so 3–7 steps (a few days) works best. Children aged 5–8 can usually manage 10–15 steps, and older children 20–30. If interest fades, shorten the chart rather than raising the reward.
What size stickers fit the chart?
Most reward stickers are about 19 mm (3/4 inch) or 25 mm (1 inch) across. The status line shows the size of each shape in millimetres; for 19 mm stickers keep it at 20 mm or more by using fewer steps, the grid layout or a full page.
What makes a reward chart work?
Choose one clear, specific goal ('Brush teeth morning and night', not 'Be good'), praise right away when you add the sticker, never remove stickers for bad behavior, and deliver the reward promptly when the chart is full. Then start a new chart, perhaps with a slightly harder goal.
What are good rewards that are not sweets or toys?
Special time works well: choosing the dinner menu, a trip to the park, a board game with a parent, a later bedtime on the weekend, baking together, a movie night or a visit to the library or zoo.
Can I use this for potty training?
Yes. A potty chart typically uses 5–10 steps for each successful try, with a small reward when it is full. Use the Simple or Rainbow theme with hearts or stars and print two half-page charts so you have a fresh one ready.
Is it free to print?
Yes. Every chart is generated in your browser and is free to print as many times as you like for home or classroom use.
