Free Printable Reward Charts

20 different free printable reward charts in fun designs to encourage children to work as desired. Fun themes, holiday pages or add your own stars!

We all sometimes need to be encouraged at work. These fun, cheerful charts put in a place they can be seen can be the incentive children need to accomplish the goals set before them. Use the free printable reward charts that best inspire your child.

This post will tell you when to use the charts, how to use them and ideas for rewards.

Does your child like cats, dogs, bears, trains, spiders? What holiday is it this month? Is it a birthday month? I tried to think of what would make the reward charts even more fun and made many kinds so you can switch them up. Variety is always more fun!

When to use reward charts:

When a chore is done or day’s chores are done

After a good day of school or homework

When the child does something kind

When potty-training

When they stay in their own bed all night

Any time you are having a struggle and need an incentive

How to use the Free Reward Chart Printables:

Have the child circle one picture when a reward is given.

There is also one page to add a sticker to or color in the star shape.

Decide ahead of time whether a reward will be given at the end of a row or when the chart is filled. Make goals and rewards clear.

Ideas for Rewards:

We had a prize box that contained small treats of candy, toys or slips of paper with privileges written on them.

Many families wouldn’t want to add more small toys to the household or eat candy on a regular basis so tickets for extra privileges are great prizes for the box.

The prizes would be determined by what would be special to the child of course. If they hate doing errands, getting to do an errand with a parent would not be one to include but if there are several siblings and that would be one on one time and special, that would be a great one to include.

Not having to make their bed the next day may be great incentive to do their work for a day. 

Tickets

Off of a chore; maybe they could choose or write a specific chore on the ticket. Help guide in what would be fair—and where you are willing to pick up any slack. You may want to just do this ahead of time.

Choose a meal

Get to help with a meal

Bake a treat

Go on an errand with a parent

Stay up later

Choose a movie

Things

Candy

Fun pens and pencils, erasers or other school supplies

Stickers

Small toys like Dollar Tree army men or animals, etc.

Crafts

Play-Doh

Bubbles

Jump rope

Sidewalk chalk

Marbles

Bouncy balls

Silly putty

Fun hair clips, etc.

Dollar bill (this was a popular one in our box so he could go buy his own prize at the Dollar Tree)

The 20 Different Printable Free Reward Charts:

I tried to think of a good variety of pictures for both boys and girls and for special holidays too to get started.

If your child has something they just love that isn’t here and it would be an incentive for them, let me know in the comments and I will try to find a picture and make a chart for them!

Specific characters won’t be easy because of copyright but general pictures should be possible. I will do my best! 😊

How to Print some but not all of the pages

There are 20 Free Reward Charts and you are welcome to one or all of them. If you don’t want to print them all, this is what you do:

When you hit the print button, you should get a pop-up page with options. It could also make you ask with a “3 dot” deal or a v to see more or even words that say “more options”.

One option will be whether you wish to print all of the pages or just some of them. You can type all or 1 or 1,3 or 3-5 or whatever pages you would like to print.

Another option there is printing front and back if it is more than 1 page. Sometimes that is a great option and other times not. Make sure that is unchecked if you don’t want the pictures on both sides of the paper.
