You can now create rewards to celebrate your child's achievements in Doodle. These can be anything of your choosing, from a trip to the cinema to a walk in the park!

Designed to celebrate each child's hard work and determination, rewards will help to inspire them in their learning, encouraging them to use Doodle for a few minutes each day. Rewards give children even more opportunities to spend their hard earned DoodleStars.

You can choose how many stars you’d like each reward to be worth, making them a great way to promote positive learning behaviours and help each child progress in their learning. And best of all, you can create them in just a few clicks 🎉


How to create a reward for your child

1. Log in to the Parent Dashboard

2. Hover over Rewards and press Create reward

3. Select the programme you'd like to create the reward in - DoodleMaths, DoodleTables, DoodleEnglish or DoodleSpell

4. Enter a reward of your choosing - the more creative, the better! (there's a 20 word limit for this)

5. Enter the number of stars required to unlock their reward

6. Select the children you’d like to set the reward for

7. Press Create reward; the goal will then appear in your chosen Doodle app

You can then visit the Rewards page at any time to see the rewards you’ve created and whether your child has unlocked them. From this page of the Parent Dashboard you'll be able to see:

  • What rewards you've set

  • How many stars each one is worth

  • Who the reward is for

  • Its status (available to buy or purchased)

  • The Delete reward button (the blue x icon)

  • A tickbox to mark rewards as redeemed. This will mark a reward as ‘used’ in your child's app

To edit any reward details, simply click on the row of the reward and this will bring up a Create reward box. Any changes made will be reflected in the child apps.

*Only available rewards can be edited and deleted. Bought or redeemed rewards can’t be edited or deleted.


How can my child view Rewards in their app?

Your child can view these rewards by visiting any of the Doodle apps.

  1. Log in to Doodle

  2. Select the arrow icon in the top left-hand corner of the Learning Zone

  3. Click on Stars and press Rewards

Any rewards you’ve created will automatically appear on this page. The Rewards Shop tab will show any rewards that have been set for the child. The Purchased tab shows any rewards that have been bought by your child.

  • A grey box shows rewards that your child hasn’t yet unlocked

  • A coloured box shows rewards that your child has unlocked

  • Any rewards that have been redeemed will be marked as 'Used'

When a user taps on a reward they have enough stars for, it opens up a box that includes more detail about the reward (title, number of stars needed and who created it) and a Buy Reward button.

Once purchased, the reward will now move from the Reward Shop tab to the Purchased tab.
