Star Chart Behaviour Weekly: Free Printable Chart for Year 1
Star Chart Behaviour Weekly is a free printable chart for Year 1 (ages 5 to 6), in Key Stage 1. Collect stars for a goal this week. It comes from the Mini Minds Hub, a growing library of free printables from Jaques of London, the British games and toy company that has been making games for families since 1795.
It is two A4 pages. Page 1 is the activity for children. Page 2 is for the grown-up: it has notes on how to use the sheet, help for children who find it hard, and a stretch idea. Print it at home or in the classroom. Black and white printing works well.
What is on the sheet
This chart includes a table to fill in.
A look at what children will meet:

Who this is for
Year 1 (ages 5 to 6) in Key Stage 1.
Key Stage 1 covers Years 1 and 2, ages 5 to 7. Children are building secure foundations in reading, writing and number, and short playful practice at home helps those foundations stick. Use it at home, in class, on a rainy afternoon or at a family gathering.
What children practise
- Goals
- Routine
- Counting
Track progress toward a small weekly goal.
Learning focus and curriculum link
Subject: Teacher and Parent Tools. Key stage: Key Stage 1. It supports the subject at this level through short, focused practice.
This sheet is a practice and play activity. It supports classroom learning and is not a replacement for it.
How to use it
- Print both pages. Page 1 is for the child. Keep page 2 for the grown-up.
- Pick one goal together at the start of the week. Draw a star each day.
- Work through the activity together the first time. Talk about each choice.
- Check against the notes on page 2.
- Come back to it another day. Repeating a familiar activity builds confidence.
If it feels too hard

Tips for parents and teachers
- Print on plain A4 paper. Black and white printing works too.
- Work through it together the first time, then let children try alone.
- Praise effort and thinking, not only correct answers.
A screen-free teacher and parent tools activity for Year 1
Children spend a lot of time on screens. This is a screen-free teacher and parent tools activity that needs only paper and a pencil. It works as quiet time after school, a rainy day activity, a holiday boredom buster or a calm moment before bed. Screen-free learning gives eyes a rest and gets children talking, thinking and writing by hand.
Free teacher and parent tools resources for teachers
Teachers can use this chart as a starter, a plenary, an early finisher task, a supply teacher resource, a homework task or a table activity. It needs no preparation beyond printing. The learning focus and skills are listed above so you can match it to your planning, and page 2 gives support and stretch ideas for mixed ability groups.
Teacher and Parent Tools ideas for parents at home
You do not need to be a teacher to use this. Read the sheet through, sit with your child for the first go and let them lead. Short bursts of ten to fifteen minutes work better than long sessions. If you are looking for free teacher and parent tools worksheets for Year 1, or simple home learning for the weekend or school holidays, this is a good place to start.
Home education and tutoring
Home educators and tutors can print this as part of a wider teacher and parent tools plan. It pairs well with books, outdoor play and everyday talk. Because the sheet is free and printable, you can use it again for brothers and sisters or for revision a few weeks later.
Why it helps children learn
Hands-on, paper based activities slow learning down in a good way. Children read carefully, think before they answer and see their own progress on the page. Games and challenges add a reason to keep going. That mix of play and practice is why printable activities like this are popular with parents, teachers and home educators.
What children will be able to do
- I can pick a small goal for the week.
- I can tick off each day I do it.
- I can say how I feel when I reach my goal.
Check it worked
Ask these when the sheet is finished. Listen for the reasoning, not just the answer.
- What goal did you choose, and why?
- What helped you on the days you did it?
- What goal would you like to try next week?
