Free Printable Behavior Charts for Kids
Updated November 2026 · 4 free printables
Four printable behavior charts for home and school. The weekly chart has three goals written in (kind hands and kind words, listen the first time, get ready on time) and one blank goal, with three faces in each day's box: great day, okay day and try again tomorrow.
About these printables
There is never a sad face; the chart is about the next try, not about a bad day.
The daily school chart splits the day into six parts against three goals, with a teacher note and a parent signature line. The toddler chart has four picture goals with big stars, and the monthly black-and-white chart is a 31-day calendar of smiley faces to color with a green, yellow and blue key.

All 4 Free Printable Behavior Charts for Kids, One by One
Here is a closer look at every page in this collection, with who it's best for and a coloring idea for each one.

1. Weekly Behavior Chart With Smiley Faces
A weekly behavior chart with three goals already written (kind hands and kind words, listen the first time, get ready on time) and one blank goal, and three little faces in every day's box: great day, okay day and try again tomorrow. Your child colors the face that fits each evening, which turns the chart into a short, calm talk about the day. A proud-of line and a reward box finish the week. It suits kids ages 5 to 8, from kindergarten to 2nd grade, who can follow a chart with short words.

2. Daily Behavior Chart for School
A daily school behavior chart for teachers and parents: six parts of the school day (morning work, reading, lunch and recess, math, specials, end of day) against three goals (listen and follow directions, kind to friends, finish my work), with three faces in each box for the teacher to color. A teacher note and a parent signature line make it a simple home-school communication sheet. It fits school-age kids of 6 to 9 and is easy for a teacher or parent to fill in.
-
3. Toddler Behavior Chart: 4 Picture Goals
A behavior chart for toddlers and preschoolers with four picture goals that a two- to four-year-old understands: use kind words, share my toys, help clean up and try a new food. Each goal has a big color picture and a large star for every day of the week, so the child can color the star themselves. It is made for toddlers and preschoolers, ages 2 to 5, with big spaces and pictures instead of words.
-
4. Monthly Behavior Chart (Black and White)
A monthly behavior chart in black and white: a calendar of 31 numbered days, each with a smiley face to color, a goal line at the top and a color key (green for a great day, yellow for a good day, blue for try again). Count the great and good days at the end of the month. Write the day numbers to match your month, or use it as a 31-day challenge starting any day. It suits kids ages 5 to 8, from kindergarten to 2nd grade, who can follow a chart with short words.
Tips for coloring Free Printable Behavior Charts for Kids
- Write no more than three goals at a time, all in positive words.
- Fill in the chart together in a calm moment, not right after a meltdown.
- Start with what went well today before looking at the try again faces.
Fun facts about Free Printable Behavior Charts for Kids
- The weekly chart has three goals filled in and one blank row for a goal of your own.

Fun ways to use your printables
- Let your child color their own face first, then compare with yours and talk about it.
- Count the great days on Friday and celebrate with something small.
- Swap a goal for a new one once it has been great for two weeks in a row.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use a behavior chart without it feeling like punishment?
Pick two or three goals, say them in positive words (kind hands, not no hitting), fill the chart in together at the same time every day and talk about what went well first. Never take earned stars away; a hard day simply gets the try again tomorrow face.
Which behavior chart works for a classroom?
The Daily Behavior Chart for School: the teacher colors a face for each goal in each part of the day, writes a short note and sends it home for a signature. It also works for a single student with a behavior plan.
At what age can a child use a behavior chart?
From about age 3, with pictures and very few goals, like the Toddler Behavior Chart. From 5 or 6 children can rate their own day with the faces, which helps them think about it.
