Token Board 6-Slot for Special Education

About this resource

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 23 pages, 295 type-in fields

• A 6-Slot Token Board: six star-outline slots and one REWARD panel, with a name and date line
• Two desk-size token boards on one sheet, cut apart, for a folder or a second student
• A Whole-Group Token Overview: one row per student, up to ten, on a single page
• 12 reward cards, 2 inches square, sized for velcro dots: trophy, medal, crown, balloon, ball, bubbles, ice cream, cookie, candy, headphones, game controller, phone
• Every reward card twice: a full-color set for a laminated board and a black-and-white ink-saver set for the photocopier
• A Reward Menu page: pick which rewards a student's board is working toward before the first day
• 12 blank reward cards with a type-in word line, for anything the printed set does not cover
• A how-to page: before the first day, the one move every time, choosing a reward, what to do if a board is not filled by day's end, writing down what changes, running several boards at once
• A Token Log (18 rows: date, time, step in your own words, slot filled, reward exchanged Y/N, initials)
• A weekly roll-up (8 weeks) with a percent-of-days-filled graph
• A filled example — an invented student, one day on the log and three weeks on the roll-up, every percent re-counted from its own row
• A family page with a kitchen-size board and six home reward choices on one sheet
• A hand-off page so a paraprofessional or another classroom runs the same board the same way
• A phrase bank: 24 lines in 6 groups (spoken lines for the board, written starters for the log, the roll-up and the note home)
• A storage and binder label sheet: 11 labels and a spine strip
• Start Here, a contents page with page thumbnails, and a "what's next" back page

A token board that comes with its own data. Most token-board files stop at the picture; this one adds a whole-group overview, a log, a weekly roll-up and a phrase bank behind it, so a board filled to a reward turns into a line on a page a case manager can bring to a meeting.

The Token Board

The star token IS the reward-progress object itself, not a symbol standing for something else — the same way a checker or a chip is the thing being moved in a real game. Six star-outline slots, arranged two rows of three, fill one at a time (color one in, or place a physical star sticker), and the sixth trades the board for one reward card in the REWARD panel below. No checkbox, target, or other abstract interface symbol appears anywhere in this file.

The Reward Cards

Trophy, medal, crown, balloon, ball, bubbles, ice cream, cookie, candy, headphones, game controller, phone — twelve concrete, nameable rewards: earned-recognition objects (a cup, a ribboned disc, a jeweled crown, deliberately different shapes), active/celebration rewards, distinct treats, and screen/media devices. Every picture was chosen to be named in one word by a young child, in color AND in the black-and-white set — the same twelve-card bank already checked and shipped on the 8-slot and 10-slot token boards in this collection, reused here rather than re-derived. Cards are 2 inches square; the board's reward panel holds a card at that same scale.

The Boards

• Token Board (6-Slot) — a name line, six star slots in two rows of three, and a REWARD panel with a fixed-size slot for the earned reward card and a line for what the board is working toward.
• Two desk-size token boards — two boards on one sheet, cut apart, for a folder or a second student.
• Whole-Group Token Overview — up to ten students' own six slots on one page, for a room running several boards at once.

The boards carry no pictures, so they print the same in color or black and white.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the boards' name and date lines, the log, the roll-up, the family page, the hand-off page, the reward menu and the blank cards, or print and use a pen. The card pages print on cardstock or plain paper and cut along dashed lines. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document.

It is a way to track steps completed with a physical token and a reward earned once six are placed. It is not a behavior plan, a point system with rules of its own, or a program of any kind, and it promises no outcome. It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule; how it is used with a student, and for how long, is what your team's plan says. The goal line and the criterion field are blanks for your district's own wording and your team's own number. The log counts one thing: how many boards were filled all the way to a reward.

Who This Is For

Special education teachers and paraprofessionals who run token economy systems for one student or a whole room, case managers who need that use to show up as data, and the families who get the home page sent home.

More In The Collection

This is a set in the Visual Supports Collection, alongside the 5-slot and 8-slot token boards and First-Then Board and Activity Picture Cards; more picture-card sets are being added to the collection regularly, all on the same cards-plus-data shape.
