The chart tasks
These six are a starting point for a child of about four to eight. They are all things a child controls. Replace any of them with the one habit your family is working on.
- Get dressed on my own
- Brush teeth morning and night
- Put shoes away
- Drink water with meals
- Eat a fruit or vegetable
- Be kind to someone
How to fill in a weekly sticker chart
The weekly layout gives your child seven chances to succeed at each habit. A missed day is only one empty circle, so it never feels like failing the whole week.
- Choose the tasks together and rewrite them in your child's own words if you like.
- Choose Monday or Sunday as the first day. The chart follows the setting you pick, so it matches your calendar.
- Print, hang, and put a pack of stickers in a drawer within the child's reach.
- Place a sticker or tick in the day's circle as each task is done, and let your child do the sticking.
- When the week is full, give the prize and print a clean page.
Variations on the weekly chart
- One habit, seven days. Delete everything but one row and make it large. A single habit chart is ideal for building something new, like trying one bite of a new food.
- Two color stickers. Use gold for tasks done without a reminder and silver for tasks done after one. It makes independence visible.
- Five day school week. Skip the weekend circles with a pen when the habit applies to school days only.
Tips for making stickers last
Change the tasks every few weeks. A chart that never changes soon turns invisible, and a refreshed list brings back the interest.
Keep prizes about time together rather than things. A picnic, a bike ride or choosing the music in the car costs nothing and children value them.
Let the child put the stickers on. It is the best part of the chart, and the physical act helps them feel the achievement.
If your child fills the chart too easily, make the tasks slightly harder. If they never fill it, make them slightly easier.
Printing the weekly chart
The chart fits on one page of Letter or A4. A cheerful palette suits a child's room, while black and white is better if you plan to give your child a fresh copy every Monday for months. Printing a month of charts in one go and keeping them in a folder takes the fuss out of weekly resets. Round dot stickers about the size of a nickel fit the circles neatly.
FAQ
What tasks should go on a sticker chart?
Choose small habits your child can control, such as getting dressed or brushing teeth. Avoid goals that depend on other people, like winning a game.
Do I have to use stickers?
No. The tick option replaces the circles with boxes, which suits older children or classrooms.
How long should one chart run?
One week at a time keeps the end in sight. Most children lose interest in a month long chart unless it has been broken into weekly goals.
