Multi-Purpose Magnetic Reward Star Chart - Durable 40x30cm Board for Behaviour & Task Tracking

I bought this chore chart for my three foster kids. They were doing okay with their chores, but easily forgot them. Now that we have this chart hanging on a wall in the living room they remember everything they need to do. There are 10 chore options. and 7 magnetic chores. You can either use those (which are pretty normal basic chores) or you can write in your own. We wrote in our own. Our ten chores are:Brush Your TeethGo To Bed Good (no whining)Do Your HomeworkPut Your Homework AwayPut Your Toys AwayPick Up Trash (snack wrappers, toy wrappers, etc)Do Math Flash CardsRead For 15 MinutesPut Your Clothes OnEat All Your FoodJust to give people an idea of a few chore options. My kids are 7, 8, and 10. All do these chores pretty happily- and excitedly run over to put their stars on every day. They ask "I did [this]! Can I put my star on now?". We also have a rewards system. At the end of the week there are three prizes for the kids to choose from. The person with the most stars gets to choose first (getting the best prize- of course). And the second most stars gets to choose second. Third most stars chooses last.This chart is made for 1 to 3 children. There are three different colors of stars. Red, yellow, and blue. At the top of the page there are three "Name: _____" spaces for the three different colors. On the bottom of the board there are little boxes that read "Once I get ___ stars I will _______________". We don't use that part of the board- but I could see how for other children it would really motivate them. My kids are motivated in the competition to win the most stars. Plus they really love visually seeing how many chores they did. It rewards them every time they do something, because they get to physically put the star on the board.The kids can also visually see all of their chores. They're less likely to forget to brush their teeth or read for 15 minutes if they can see it listed on the board. It gives them a visual of what they need to do that day. They're pretty awesome at finishing all 10 chores now-a-days and I'd say this chart has made a huge difference.The set comes with 100 stars in each color (red, yellow, and blue). You have to punch the stars out from a sheet. They're magnetic and stick to the board well. They are easy to move around, but are strong enough to not fall off easily. The board also comes with a dry erase marker. The board lists the days 'Monday - Sunday', which is kind of weird. But it works.

I got this for my niece's for Christmas. It's really sturdy and much heavier than I thought it would be. It's magnetic and has little magnetic stars that can be reused (much more convenient than stickers). It also comes with a dry erase pen so you can add and erase chores, names, rewards, etc. as you need to. The best thing about this board, to me, is that it works for 3 children. I didn't want to spend a fortune buying each of my 3 nieces a star chart and so I was thrilled to find this one. Each child can be assigned a color, so even if they don't read yet, they know which stars/reward slot/name slot is theirs. I was really happy with the product and plan on purchasing again once I have children of my own.

I thought the chart would solve my organizational woes, teach the kids to be more responsible, and help them autonomously get ready for school, do their chores, complete their homework, and get ready for bed. I've realized that unless this comes with a recording that says, "5 minute warning!", then "2 minute warning!" and followed by "10 seconds!", I don't think it works very well in our household. It doesn't help the helplessly disorganized (me) because you have to have enough diligence to check on daily performance or remind the kids to do so. So I guess it didn't transform me overnight from the most disorganized person to the most organized person, but if this didn't work, then maybe my chances of becoming organized are about as good as my ability to solve world hunger. And, don't drop the little stars - we find little stars every once in a while that have been sucked up by my vacuum. Good luck to those more organized than me!

A friend of mine showed me this chart and I had to have it! She has two kiddos, but we have one who the equivalent to two or three. Ha.We use this rewards chart for our 4 year old son with developmental delays. He has 3 on-going categories at a time, like Manners, Independence and Learning (tracing and ABC's). We've worked with his pediatric behaviorist to refine how to use the chart and its such a great and easy tool to use. I would highly recommend it for any parent wanting to work with their child on unfavorable behaviors or to give incentives to their kiddos in order to meet certain goals. We've been going strong with it for over a month and let me tell you, its going to be around for a long, long time.

This chart worked great at helping my kids (ages 6 & 9) be self motivated in doing their homework, getting ready for bed and school, using table manners, picking up, etc. We took a lot of time and as a family came up with the list that would earn them stars. Then we gave them a few rewards to pick from each week, like picking dinner, choosing dessert, extra technology time, etc. We also came up with a list of behaviors that would result in loss of stars. We agreed in advance that the chart could not be used as a bartering device or it would go away. It was a great experience during the school year. We are now looking into how we can use it during the summer break.
