Good Habits Worksheet for Kids: Tick and Cross!

How to use this worksheet

Look at each picture with your child and ask them to describe what the person in it is doing before deciding whether it's a good or bad habit. Talk through why a behavior is good or bad rather than letting your child guess silently, since the reasoning matters more than the mark itself. Have your child draw a tick for good habits and a cross for bad habits next to each picture. Review the page together at the end, discussing what your child could do instead of any bad habits shown.
