How to make a chore chart in 3 steps

1. 1

   Add the names and the week

   One chart per child (or one for the whole family). Pick the week to put the dates over the days, or leave it empty to write it in.

2. 2

   Choose the chores

   Start from the standard list, rewrite it, or add your own. Turn on stars to give each chore a value and add a weekly total, and write the reward.

3. 3

   Print and put it up

   Print a chart for each week, put it on the fridge, and tick a box or add a sticker each day a chore is done.

Chore ideas by age

Every child is different; these are only starting points. Pick a few your child can do on their own.

• Ages 3–5: pick up toys, put clothes in the hamper, help feed a pet, set out napkins
• Ages 6–8: make the bed, set and clear the table, water plants, sort laundry by colour
• Ages 9–12: load or empty the dishwasher, take out the trash, vacuum a room, pack their school bag
• Ages 13 and up: do their own laundry, help cook a meal, mow the lawn, clean the bathroom

Tips that make a chore chart work

• Start small: three to six chores is plenty for a young child.
• Write each chore as a clear action (“Put toys in the box”), not a vague one (“Be tidy”).
• Agree on the reward together before the week starts, and keep it small and regular.
• Tick the chart together at the same time each day, such as after dinner.
• Print a new chart each week and keep the old ones to look back on progress.
