Daily Behavior Chart Printable
Daily behavior chart printable with morning, afternoon, and evening slots for ten behaviour goals. Free PDF for classrooms and families.
A daily behavior chart printable breaks a child’s day into three visible windows so behaviour goals get feedback close to when they happen. The PDF on this page has 10 rows for goals and columns for morning, afternoon, and evening, each with a small circle to fill in.
What is on the page
The chart has a header row in teal and 10 goal rows in the body. Each row has three circles across it, one per time slot. Circles are large enough for a smiley face, a colour fill, or a sticker, depending on what your child responds to. The layout is deliberately simple, since younger children read cluttered charts as noise.
How to use a daily behavior chart
Set two or three goals, not ten. A short list you can actually reinforce beats a long list that everyone forgets by lunchtime. Frame the goals in the positive: “kind hands”, “used inside voice”, “asked before taking”. Fill in the circle for each time slot the goal was met. Review the day at bedtime with the child and celebrate what worked.

About behavior charts
Behaviour charts sit inside the broader field of positive behaviour support, which prioritises reinforcing target behaviours rather than punishing unwanted ones. Research reviews from the Council for Exceptional Children find that consistent immediate feedback is the single strongest driver of behaviour change, which is exactly what a chart provides.
Printing tips
Print at 100 percent scale. For repeated use, laminate the chart and use a dry-erase marker. Otherwise a fresh printout each Sunday works fine.
Frequently asked questions
How many behaviour goals should I set?
Two or three. A long list dilutes attention and makes it hard to celebrate progress.
What ages does the chart suit?
Three to eight is the sweet spot. Older children usually respond better to written check-ins than to a visual chart.
Can teachers use this in a classroom?
Yes. Many teachers put one chart on each student's desk or folder for the day, filled in at set moments rather than continuously.
