Good deeds chart for kids
A good deeds chart works best with a few clear, kind actions your child can picture themselves doing — saying salaam, sharing, telling the truth — and a shape to colour every time they try. Pick the habits below, add your child's name and print it free.

At the end of the week
Sit together and ask: “What did you try hardest at?” Praise the effort, not a score. Ideas:
- “I saw how hard you tried. That made me so happy.”
- “You remembered all by yourself!”
- “We did it together — you're a great helper.”
- “Even when it was tricky, you kept trying. MashaAllah!”
Make it stick
What to put on a good deeds chart, by age
Two or three things you'll see every day: saying salaam, tidying up, gentle hands. Colour the shape together, straight after it happens, while the moment is still warm.
Up to five. Mix a home habit (helping, tidying) with a friends habit (sharing, kind words), and name the good deed out loud as they colour it in.
Up to seven, and let them choose one row themselves. Children this age enjoy colouring their own chart and talking about the week on Friday.
Using it gently
- Colour a shape for trying, not for being perfect. A half-hearted share is still a share.
- Put the chart at your child's eye level, near where the habit happens.
- When a habit becomes easy, swap it for a new one. That's the chart working.
- Never add a row for “bad” behaviour, and never take a coloured shape away.
Questions parents ask
What should I put on a good deeds chart?
Actions your child can do several times a week and that you can see: saying salaam, sharing, kind words, helping at home, telling the truth, a coin of sadaqah. Avoid big, vague goals like “be good” — children can't picture them.
Should a full chart earn a prize?
Most children are happiest with your praise and a little special time together. If you do use a treat, keep it small and about effort. Please don't link treats to salah or other worship.
How long should we keep the same chart?
One to four weeks is typical. Retire it while it's still fun, celebrate what got easier, and print a fresh one with new habits.
