I pasted the cute little chart in the middle of an orange piece of card stock and labeled Grahm’s and Ryland’s Movie Night. I decided to push the lesson on teamwork. Every time the boys have a good school day or clean up their room with a cheerful heart they both get to place a sticker on the chart. The adorable popcorn stickers look like this….
Putting a sticker on the chart is like eating a piece of candy in my lil’ ones eyes. After the chart is consumed with little popcorn stickers, they will get to choose a movie together for us all to watch for Family Movie Night. Of course we can’t forget the buttery salted popcorn. Yummy!
Do you have any bribery incentive programs that work for your little ones? Visit We are that Family for more WFMW.
Great idea! We have a chart as well but I don't use it as often as I should. Our boys are 4 and 5 and I know this would work great! Thanks for the inspiration!
Great idea – haven' thought of the movie night incentive! thanks!

What a fantastic plan! I always say, Bribery is just another word for Training. 🙂 Isn't positive reinforcement wonderful!
My little boy just started kindergarten last week and to start his schooling out on a positive note, we put up a monthly calendar in his room. Every day that his teacher says he was a good listener and cooperator, he gets a sticker. At the end of the week if he has five stickers, he gets a treat from the treat basket – so far full of matchbox cars, the ultimate small treat in his mind!
We need something like this at home. He's been an angel at school but comes home cranky!
