I’ve even included a couple blank coupons that you can fill in with your own reward for your kid.

There are so many businesses that participate in rewarding kids who do well in school.

Since we are talking about motivating kids…
I thought it would be a great time to also talk about motivating them to excel at another part of their lives as well.
The FREE Chore Challenge Tracker is a great way to make doing chores fun!!

Family Video recently announced that it was closing its remaining locations: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2021/01/05/family-video-closing-its-remaining-250-locations-after-43-years/6556283002/
Kristie Sawicki says
Oh no! Thanks for the heads up!
Belinda Kurtz says
We were told at 2 places they didn’t know what we were talking about. Wendy’s even said we needed coupons from the school? Is this country side or what area?
Kristie Sawicki says
Every area is different which is why I recommend in the post to call ahead. I’m so sorry you had a bad experience.
Stephanie Hopper says
Nothing free in my area except Krispy Kreme
mildred says
Burger king gives kids meals for A’s and B’s
Jennifer says
Great of these companies to do this, there are a few on the list we would definitely frequent.
But with Common Core report cards, we get ratings of 1,2,3. How to figure out the comparison?
Kristie Sawicki says
I would think they would adjust based on the kind of rating system your area uses.
Janna says
Half price books gives a $2 coupon for every A and $1 for every B to use in their store. Thank you!
Michelle says
I belong to a teachers credit union that actually awards students money in their acct. for A’s and B’s. It might be worth checking at your banks as well.
Robin {Mom Foodie} says
Thanks great compilation.
Stephanie says
Great list! I didnt even know about any of these except Krispy Kreme!
Linda Marimpietri via Facebook says
I’ll just be sticking to my own rewards. Ice cream, pizza, and doughnuts? No thanks.
Jane Anne says
This is a great, great list! I know our blockbuster offers the rentals to kids with good grades but I didn’t know about many of the rest. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to reward my kiddos at the end of the quarter.

What about kids that don’t get letter grades from their school? My son is in 1st grade and even though he has almost all outstandings on his report card (and already has finished the requirements for moving on to second grade…he’s at the top of his class his teacher said), he doesn’t get letter grades at all. I’m not sure they start that in our district until at least next year (or the year after). Instead it breaks down skills they have to master before the year is up. Any idea if I could take this in and it will work?
Also, my school uses regular paper for printing report cards as well…and even that they are short on thanks to budget cuts in Michigan.
Kristie says
I suggest calling ahead to ask what they will accept that way you don’t have any surprises when you get there thus avoiding an upset child.
Kim says
I just found your site and am so thrilled that you have a homeschooling section. Thanks so much for all the work you do that we all benefit from!
Isabel Mahrer says
Just wanted to give you a shout from the valley of the sun, great information. Much appreciated.
Kathleen B. says
This is a great list! I knew about Chuck E Cheese, but not the rest. Thanks!
Michele says
I know I’ve seen a sign on the front door of my local BLockbuster. I just went to their website and found the following info:
What is the BLOCKBUSTER Good Grades program?
Q: Why is Blockbuster offering the Good Grades Free Rental program?
A: Blockbuster values the role that a good education plays in the development of successful youth and strong families. With this in mind, we wanted to offer a reward to students for good performance in school.

A: Students are eligible to participate each new grading period.

Kristie says
Thanks so much for sharing this information!
Amy says

Jenna says
Awesome! I am posting for my readers..Thanks..
Heather says
I would ask about the Pizza Hut one since they won’t volunteer that info about the free personal pizza. We were in there to “celebrate” the end of school and my child doing so well on her report card for the first year (just completed kindergarten), even though the waiter knew all of this, he didn’t tell us about the free pizza. Sure would have been nice!
Kristie says
Thanks for the reminder that it’s always a good idea to call ahead and ask.
Dee says
Yes, if you can produce a report card, they should accept it. Check with the store first! I have a cyber schooler and we were able to use his printed grade sheet.
I modified your list for my area and am posting it on my blod with a link to yours, thank you!

Hi. I homeschool, too. I see the sites to print out report cards, but I was wondering on what kind of paper to do this on. It just seems like regular white paper wouldn’t look official. As a child, I remember gettting report cards on a sort of thick paper card, that opened up. What are you thoughts on this? Oh, and if you do think that it should be on a special paper/card, could you please let me know where to get it? Thanks : )
Kristie says
I haven’t had a problem just using regular white paper. However I did notice once that Office Depot carries diploma paper which is more “official” looking if you want that. I bet they have all kinds of different specialty paper to choose from.
C. O. says
I would imagine just printing it out on cardstock paper, like some use for scrapbooking. Report cards used to be a little thicker but not much. My child brought home a big folded sheet today that is flimsy so i am going to have to make a pocket on a page or something in order for it not to get torn up.
Hope it helps.
Selena Lorts says
My kids are not homeschooled one is in 1st the other in 3rd. Their report cards are printed on regular paper. My daughter has been to 5 different schools since she started kindergarten and they have all been on regular paper. We are military therefore move alot. I remember growing up mine was always on thick paper but I guess schools had to change maybe due to budget issues.
Jamie says
Our school district does computer generated report cards that are just printed out on regular copy paper. I know what you mean about “official” looking report cards but in today’s technology age where they are also cutting budgets as much as possible I think less districts are probably going that direction.

Heather says
What about the homeschool kids? Anyone know if they accept their “report cards”?
Kristie says
I wouldn’t think it should be a problem. But I also wouldn’t announce that they are homeschooled. Just put together a report card and take it in.
Molly Green says
Great post! Thanks so much for sharing!
