How to use it

  1. Choose what your child is working for.

  2. Pick how many tokens to earn. Start with fewer.

  3. Print the board, cut out the stars, and add a bit of Velcro or tape.

  4. Add a token right after each small step, then give the reward as soon as the board is full.

Make it last: print on cardstock, laminate it or slip it into a sheet protector, and use a dry-erase marker or Velcro dots so you can use it again.

Questions parents ask

How is a token board different from a reward chart?

A token board is for right now, often a few minutes of work. A reward chart usually tracks one goal across several days.

Who uses token boards?

Families and teachers use them with young children. If your child works with a teacher or therapist, they can tell you how a board fits with what they already do.

Is my child’s name saved anywhere?

No. A name you type stays in your browser so it can print on the sheet. It is never sent to us.

Is it really free?

Yes. One email unlocks this and every other tool in the library, and you can print as many as you like. Your email also brings one short story each Tuesday, and you can leave anytime.

Read it with a story

This is a simple visual support for everyday routines, not a therapy or a treatment. If your child works with a teacher or therapist, they can tell you how it fits with what they already do. Picture symbols: Mulberry Symbols, CC BY-SA 4.0.
