Make it your own
Add your child's name and their chores, then download a chart made for them. What you type stays in this page and is never sent anywhere.
Who it’s for
This chart is for families who want kids to pitch in without daily reminders. Each chore gets a row and each day gets a box, so kids can see what’s done and what’s left, and so can you.
What’s on the page
- A name line, so each child has a chart of their own.
- The chores: the ready PDF starts with everyday jobs like “make the bed” and “put toys away.” In the form above you can write up to 10 of your own.
- A box for each day, big enough for a check mark or a sticker.
- A reward line for what happens when the chart is full, if you use one.
How to use it
- Choose the chores together. Kids stick with jobs they helped pick.
- Fill in the form above with their name and chores, or print the ready PDF.
- Put the chart at kid height, on the fridge or a bedroom door.
- Let them tick their own boxes when each chore is done.
- Print a fresh chart each week and talk about how the last one went.
Tips for chores that stick
- Show, then help, then watch. Do a new chore together a few times before they do it alone.
- Make it easy to do right. Low hooks, open bins and a hamper in the room make tidying up something kids can manage.
- Keep the grown-up jobs in view too. The weekly cleaning schedule shows what the rest of the house is doing.
- Plan the week together with the weekly planner, so chores fit around school and activities.

What chores can kids do?
Start with chores that look after their own things: making the bed, putting toys and clothes away, packing a school bag. Then add small jobs for the family, like setting the table or feeding a pet. Pick chores your child can finish without help most of the time.
How many chores should be on a chart?
Fewer than you think. A short list a child can finish every day works better than a long one they give up on. Start with a few, and add one more once those are a habit.
Should kids get a reward for chores?
That's up to your family. The chart has a line at the bottom for a reward when the week is full, which can be anything from picking dinner to a trip to the park. Some families skip rewards and treat chores as part of living together.
Is what I type into the chart saved anywhere?
Only on your own device. The chart is made in your browser, nothing is sent to us or anyone else, and your entries are kept in this browser so they're there next time.
