Kids Active Week Chart

What this sheet is for

This chart is designed for children who are building a habit of daily movement — not training for a sport, but simply getting their body active every day. It suits a school holiday, a recovery from a sedentary patch, or a family fitness challenge. Each row represents one specific, achievable goal so that a child and a parent can agree, without argument, whether it was done.

How to use it

Write the child's name on the Athlete's name line. Each row under Daily Goal names one movement habit to complete that day. Each time the goal is met, colour in or place a sticker in the next circle across that row — there are fourteen circles, one per day, so each row spans two full weeks. At the end of each day, count the filled circles and write the total in the Stars column. When all fourteen circles in a row are coloured, the child has earned the reward written in the Reward box at the foot.

What is printed on the page

“Kids Active Week Chart” is laid out as star grid: five goals down the side with fourteen circles across each row to colour in or sticker, a name line at the top, an optional stars-earned column and a reward box at the foot. Under the title it reads “Track five daily movement goals across fourteen days and earn your reward.”, and the line at the foot of the page says “Count a circle only when the activity is fully done — a short run still counts if you gave your best effort.”.

The goal labels slot holds five entries — “10 min walk, jog or bike ride”, “15 bodyweight exercises (squats/jumps)”, “Active play outside for 20 min”, “Stretch or cool-down for 5 min” and “Drank water after every activity” — so the sheet is already filled in for fitness rather than left as blank rows to label yourself.

The remaining labels on “Kids Active Week Chart”, the fitness sheet, are “Athlete's name” for the name label, “Daily Goal” for the goal heading, “Stars” for the earned heading and “Reward when a row is full (14 stars)” for the reward label.

Two things about this particular star grid are settings rather than text, and “Kids Active Week Chart” has them set like this. Earned column is on: add a column at the right to write the star count. Reward box is on: include the reward box at the foot.

Tips

Set the reward before the chart goes on the wall so both you and the child agree on it in advance.

For younger children, count the stretch row separately — it reinforces that recovery is part of fitness, not a bonus.

If a day is missed, do not erase the gap; let the child see the streak break and choose to restart — that is the real lesson.

The other layouts in this set

“Kids Active Week Chart” is one of three sheets in this set, each a different fixed layout filled for the same topic. “30 Workouts Done” uses the single goal layout and “After-School Move Points” uses the points ledger layout. Pick by how you work: the layout decides how much you write and where, not what the sheet is about.
