Free Printable Behavior Charts and Reward Charts

About these behavior and reward charts handouts

Charts work when the goal is clear and the feedback is quick. These four serve different needs. The weekly sticker chart is for one student, with four goals across Monday to Friday and a dashed circle for each sticker. The goal path turns a long-term target into a 24-step board, each step colored in when a goal is met, with a reward at the finish.

The class behavior ladder and the class goal thermometer are for the whole room. The ladder has five bands with encouraging names, and students' name tags or clothespins move up and down through the day. The thermometer is for a shared goal, with ten marks to color and two celebration boxes at marks five and ten.

Whichever you pick, keep the focus on what the students can do. Name the behavior you want to see, give feedback right away, and avoid public charts that single out one child. The sticker chart and goal path are the most private, and the thermometer rewards the whole class together.

Type your name, the student's name or the week in the fill-in boxes, then print.
