There are many different chore charts and behavior charts out there. I have not been able to find just one that I like. I also didn't want two different charts floating around our house. So I found different examples of charts and combined them to make one chart that fits with our family's needs. Essentially it's a bunch of ideas put into one.
All items I either had already or purchased from Walmart. The supplies used were round sticky magnets, dryerase magnetic board, ribbon, tape, my computer, and a laminating machine.
First I searched Pinterest for different ideas of chore and behavior charts. I went to many different websites and looked at all the different types that they have. I made sure to find items that I would be able to use for free.
Next I printed out the different ideas that I liked best. I then wrote on note paper how I wanted it to look like. This helped me organize my thoughts.
Once I have my thoughts together I started creating with pic monkey and Microsoft Word the different items I would need for the chart.
I laminated all of the important parts that would be needed for our chart. I then placed magnets on the back of each laminated piece. Every piece was cut out individually. I laid them all out on our dry erase magnetic board.
After messing around with a bunch of different layouts I finally decided on one.
Our chart has several different parts to it. There is the upper part where it's divided by the days of the week as well as things to do, things that are done and the total for the day.
The to do column has a list of chores she needs to complete for the day. When she's completed them she moves them to the done pile.
At the bottom there is a how's my behavior doing section. It is divided up into five sections. Awesome where she can earn three tickets, good where she can earn two tickets, start of the day, warning, and loss of privilege.
Some loss of privileges we may use are loss of television, loss of innotab time, loss of play date, or loss of activity.
Each day she can earn up to three tickets. At the end of the week she adds up the total amount of tickets and can redeem them for a prize.
They're only five choices of prizes for two different prize tiers. We did 7 to 14 and 15 to 21 tickets earned. She may pick out one prize from each section depending on how many tickets she earned for the week.
Some prizes we used were pick out dinner, pick out dessert, rent a Redbox movie, pick out a family activity, and pick out a game. These are just some examples of the prizes we used.
It's not perfect but hopefully it will work for us.
