Behavior check-in for Pre-K (ages 3–5)

Use this screen during transitions or group activities to help your Pre-K students know what to do and how to behave. The colorful tools and big symbols make expectations clear for young children who are still learning routines.

Children see how they should work, when to be quiet, and what steps to follow. They can watch the noise meter, check off tasks, and celebrate with stickers and points together.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.

Questions teachers ask

How long should I use the screen at one time?

For Pre-K, keep it short—about 5–10 minutes is best. Use it for transitions, group activities, or just to check in on behavior.

What if some students can’t read yet?

All widgets use clear pictures and symbols, so reading isn’t required. Say the instructions out loud and point to the visuals.

Can I use this for individual behavior?

This template is for class routines, but you can add individual checklists or points for specific students if needed.
