A simple weekly reward chart for ages 7 to 10. Routines, reading, helping out and being kind, with points that add up to a prize your child picks.
Color a circle each day it happens. Each one earns the points on its line; dotted red lines take points away. Suggested goal: 90 points (about 3 good weeks).

Go through each line with your child and use the blank lines to add your own. Kids this age love helping make the rules.
A small toy, a trip to the park, choosing dinner, a sleepover. Draw it or write it in the goal box so they see it every day.
Let your child color the box themselves. Each check earns the points on its line, and Sunday is adding-up day.
One clear rule is enough for this age. Keep the focus on what they did well.
Compass is the app version of this chart. Kids check their own days on their phone, a parent approves with a tap, and the jar fills toward the goal. Every behavior and point value is editable. 14 days free, then $4.99/month for the whole family.
