How to fill out a Chore Chart
Make chores clear and fair. List each chore, who is responsible, and check off Monday through Sunday as it gets done. A reward box lets kids see what they are working toward, and a notes box covers anything else. It works just as well for roommates or a whole family.
How to fill it out
- Write the name (or “Family”) and the week at the top.
- List the chores, one per row, and assign each to a person in the Who column.
- Each day, check the box when the chore is done.
- Agree on a reward and write it in the Reward box; review the chart together at the end of the week.
Tips
- Match chores to age: toddlers can pick up toys, school-age kids can set the table and feed pets, teens can do laundry and dishes.
- Keep it to a few chores per child so the chart feels doable.
- Post the chart at kid height and celebrate a full row.
- Rotate chores weekly so nobody gets stuck with the worst job.
