If your kids are anything like mine, they LOVE getting rewards. It could be as simple as a treat, or something big like the going on a family outing. I have one child in particular who loves gifts. He is always asking me to buy him toys or counting down the days until he gets his next present. This child also is my least willing to do anything ‘work’ related. If it ‘smells’ like school work or if it ‘quacks’ like chores, then he puts up a stink about it. That’s where reward charts come in. I ask him if he would be willing to do a sticker chart to earn the reward he is asking for. If he is, then we set our parameters. If you do ________ for ___ days, then you will earn ______. I then let him pick the design he would like for his sticker chart. I make it up in Canva (or I used to just hand draw it), print it, and we are good to go.
Below are a few free downloadable sticker charts you can use to motivate your little ones.
If you want to create your own, you can use Canva.com for free. Below is a video tutorial on how to create a kids reward sticker chart in Canva. In the video I used one of Canva’s pro images which do cost extra. Canva has some free images you can use, or you can just do a Google Search for an animal outline, save the image to your computer, then upload that image into Canva to use for your own personal use.
