This reward chart is for all those Frozen fans and for the children who love Elsa the best! The style of this reward chart is quite unique, as it has four (or less) sections for you to write tasks or behaviours for your child to work on, but also has space for a small symbol or picture of that expectation underneath- to act as a visual cue or reminder for your child. There are then five circles of achievement on their way to a reward (snowflake). This chart comes with matching star circles for your child to place on the chart as they go and snowflakes to place on the chart when they are up to a reward! Reward charts can be used in both the home, and in schools, pre schools, day care centres etc and are suitable for a large range of ages. They are an effective way of teaching children how to modify undesirable behaviour, develop independence of specific tasks and follow through on instructions and when combined with a reward that is meaningful to the child, are a great incentive!
