Free printable rainbow reward chart
If your little one is like mine and needs some visual motivation for their daily tasks, then this free printable rainbow reward chart is perfect for them (and you!)! With an easy to follow chart it allows your child to see exactly what tasks they need to accomplish each day and mark it off as they go along. There’s a LOT of satisfaction in marking off your to-do items as you go!
How the reward chart works
I recommend using this on a weekly basis so kids aren’t having to look too far into the future to receive their reward, often times if things take forever even us adults struggle with holding on!
So, each week, you and your child will figure out a reward to work towards. This could be a movie night, pizza dinner, ice cream out, whatever you agree on!
Then you will want to set a goal for the week of how many tasks should be accomplished to earn the reward, you know your child best so you may want to start small or go for gold and have them get all tasks done. How you do it is completely up to you!
Once you have your reward and goals figured out you’ll want to write in what you want your child to accomplish each day. And during the day, as they accomplish their tasks, they can mark them off! If they forget one that spot should remain empty and no point counted.
At the end of the week you’ll want to tally up all their tasks! Each task and day should count as one point. So, if they accomplish all tasks on Monday that would be 7 total points for that day. (Tip: This reward chart has 42 items total they can accomplish in a week).
If they meet, or exceed, the weekly goal you set for them they earn their reward!
