Chore Chart – Ticket System

by Laurie on July 10, 2009

This is a weekly schedule that is fun with a ticket system which can be redeemed for store items or activity rewards. Tickets are given as rewards for chores and good behaviors. Tickets are taken away as consequences. The store contains items to purchase as well as fun activities to do.

I love this idea, but am not very computer saavy when it comes to making charts with cute photos and stuff. What program did you use to make this and is it easy to use?

Thanks!

Shally – I made the file so you can just print it out as is. Just click on the file and it should print out for you no problem.

If you want to make any changes, I used Microsoft Publisher and I can e-mail you the original file.

Dee,

The original file is too big to e-mail. However, I have attached it to this post (see original file). I’m so glad that this system will work for you. I don’t have colored number to subtract from misbehaving – but you could just take them out of their assigned pocket.

P.s. I’m NOT able to access the program you uploaded. What program is it and can it be converted to WORD Vista or XP office?

Thank you

It is Microsoft Publisher which is included in the Microsoft Office package.

Hi i just printed out the chore chart with the tickets, however forgive me for asking im a little confused in how to work it. Could you please just give me a rough draft of directions please! Im sorry!!!! Thanx

It’s easier than it looks.

1. Just laminate the tickets and print out the charts. (I also laminate the shop chart). However, laminating is completely optional.

2. Find a place for the kiddos to hold their tickets. I got a small box for each of them (I used an empty protien bar box) and slapped a magnet on the back so it would stick to the fridge. You can also hole punch all the tickets and give the kiddos an “O” ring to use to keep them all together and then hang it from somewhere.

3. As they do their chores, reward them with their tickets. As they are naughty take away their tickets. At the end of every week (or another specified time) they can redeem their tickets for rewards as seen on the “store”.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I’d be happy to answer them.

I have been looking for this chore system for a while. I absolutely love it can you please send me the original program. I’m not very good when it comes to computers. Thanks

23 Laurie January 6, 2010 at 2:27 pm

The original file is the one marked (original file). I’ve uploaded everything I have onto this post. You will only be able to upload the “original file” if you have Microsoft Publisher. Otherwise, click on the link next to it – that is a .pdf file and the one that will allow you to print it out no matter what software you have.

Hi, I tried to print the chore chart and it won’t let me I guess because I don’t have Microsoft Publisher??? Could you email me the original file? aashaner@rconnects.com
Thanks! I love this idea….I’m hoping I can change it a bit for my family.

Angela – The one that says (Original File) is the Microsoft Publisher file. The one next to it is the .pdf file. You should be able to open up the .pdf file no matter what software you have. I’d be happy to e-mail it to you but everything I have is right here on the site.

Thank you for this great chart! We love it. I have been using it for about a month, the kids really like having the tickets. And, have been working really hard to get as many as possible to get their prizes. They even remind each other when someone is being mean or not listening…”stop! we need to get some tickets, be nice” my 5 year old says. Love it !!
