Are you looking for a fun, hands-on way to encourage your students to consistently make good choices? So was I and then I started implementing these behavior punch cards and suddenly my students were working VERY hard to earn their daily punch. Are you looking for more back to school ideas, activities, and printables to do at home or in the classroom? If so click here.
When I was in the classroom, we had a school-wide color behavior plan. At the end of the day, I would stamp each students’ binder based on the color that they earned. Blue meant you went above and beyond. Green meant you did a great job and did everything that was expected of you. Yellow means that you had a few minor problems and red means that you either did something very wrong or that you continuously chose to not do your job throughout the school day.
If students earned a green or blue, they earned a punch on their Behavior Punch Cards. Now, this may not seem like much, BUT to the majority of your students, they will want a punch on their card each day more than anything in this world. Hopefully this will be just the movitation the majority of your students need.
Once all twenty shapes have been punched through, students will earn some sort of prize. I had a prize box that was full of random things from Oriental Trading, the Dollar Store, and the Dollar Spot.
Do what works for you and also what sparks your students’ interests. You can make it where they get to choose a prize that exact day they reach number 20 or you can have a prize day once a week, where you honor everyone that has earned 20 punches on their card.
Once they fill their punch card, provide them with a new one and they will start the process again.
Are you thinking how on earth are you going to find the time to punch these cards on top of everything else you have going on at dismissal?
There are a few ways to fix this. 1)You have a student helper that will walk around and punch behavior cards. 2)You can use the honor system and pass the hole punch around to each student. 3) You can simply have the students that earned a punch bring their cards to you and quickly punch a hole in each one.
Because this document is editable, you will need to download all ALL KG fonts. Then open document in Adobe Acrobat and type in the names of your students using KG Primary Penmanship. Press print and there you go!
I find it fun and easier to keep track of when I print them on colored cardstock. Cut each individual card out and then you are all set!
So will this be the answer to ALL of your behavior problems. NOPE, sadly not. However, it will help curve the majority of your students to strive every single day to get a punch on their card. And that, my friends, is worth it.
Can you not find a resource that you would LOVE to have for your classroom? Contact me and I would be happy to make it for you.

I hope that you and your students enjoy the Behavior Punch Cards!
I clicked download( both the all fonts link and the click download picture), signed up with my email, and nothing popped up. The all fonts zip file had nothing but random things in there. How can I get these behavior punch cards?
If you click the download picture button, you will put your email and name into there and then you will be redirected to the freebie. I hope this helps!
I have tried 3 times to download the behavior punch cards but the page freezes every time I try. I am giving up because I don’t want to mess your site up.
I double checked the download link and it seem to be working fine on my side. Please let me know if you are still having issues!
Did you do only one punch a day? It would take a minimum of 4 weeks before anybody got a prize. I used a similar idea but did stickers on index cards. Also, were the students responsible for the cards or did you keep them? I made my students keep them. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn’t. Lol
Yes! This freebie only has one a day. I like to judge the responsibility of my students when passing out these cards. I hope your students enjoy!
I had the same troubles. It kept popping up that the website didn’t work, once I added my name and email address.
I double checked the download link and it seem to be working fine on my side. Please let me know if you are still having issues!
Do you have to have the pay version of Adobe to use these fonts?
Hello! No you do not. The free version of Adobe works just fine. 🙂
Having troubles getting the punch card too. My email is teachercashdollar@ gmail.com.
Thank you, Justine Cashdollar
Hi there Justine, I’m so sorry you’re having trouble downloading this printable. Everything appears to be working now. If you’re still unable to get it please email me at freebie @ adabofgluewilldo (dot) com. Hope you enjoy it!
I tried to download the punch card freebie but after I put in my email, it brings me to a page about a bundle purchase option and never allows me to download the punch cards. Is there another way to get it? Thanks!
Hi there Grace, you’ll receive an email from me with the download. It may go to your spam or other folders. Let me know if you don’t receive it.

Could you send me a link for the punch cards? It doesn’t seem to be working on the website. Thank you.
Hi there Erlene, the download seems to be working. Once you enter your information you will receive an email from me with the download. It may go to your spam, promotions or others folder. Also, sometimes when using a school email it blocks emails coming from other sites. If you still aren’t able to get it please email me at freebies @ adabofgluewilldo (dot) com. I hope you enjoy!!!
We currently use a similar system at my middle school. This is a huge motivator even for bigger kids. Thanks for the post on this system! I highly recommend it.
How exciting! I’m so happy you have a tool to use with your students!
I am not receiving the download for the punchcards.
There seemed to be a glitch. It’s working now. Once you submit your information you’ll receive an email from me. Be sure to check all of your folders spam/other/promotions/update it may be hidden in there. Also, if you’re using an email from your employer site it may block emails from me so you’ll need to use a different email. If you are still having trouble email me at freebies @ adabofgluewilldo (dot) com Thank you!
Hi
I clicked on download here and was directed to select grade you work with. I selected and nothing else happened.
Hi Tanya, after you enter your email you’ll get an email from me. It may take a few minutes. Be sure to check your spam/others/promotions folders as it sometimes gets hidden in there. Hope you enjoy!!!
So many ads! I can’t even find the punch cards because the ads cover your page when viewed on the phone. Kind of frustrating. I love your idea and I want to use these punch cards, but this is a bit overwhelming. Just a little constructive criticism. I have no idea about personal web pages, so please don’t take this personally. I’m sure it’s not your fault.
Leigh, Thank you so much for the feedback. This is definitely information I can use to make the website easier for Y’all.

I’m not receiving the email to download the punch cards. I entered my information several times since yesterday and haven’t received it. I have checked my spam mail too. Can you please help me
Hello,
I have used these in the past and my kids love them. I must have deleted the file on accident and want to re download it for this coming school year but am not getting the email. I have tried a couple of times but have not gotten the email. Is there a way to get a new link? Thanks in advance.
It looks like you opted out of our emails, so it won’t send emails when you have that status. I will update, then when you request it will go through!
I can not get the download of the punch cards to work.
I’m not able to download this. It keeps sending me to a weird site.
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design. Cheers
Howdy! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Outstanding blog and fantastic design and style.
