How to use the Chore Chart Maker
- Add the people who share the chores and give each a color.
- List the chores or load a ready-made list. Choose who does each chore (or Everyone) and tap days to switch them off.
- Change icons by tapping the icon next to a chore; new chores get a matching icon automatically.
- Style the chart: title, week, check-space shape, theme color, reward line, paper and orientation.
- Download the PDF or print it, then stick it on the fridge and tick off chores as they are done.
Age-appropriate chore ideas
| Age | Daily chores | Weekly chores |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 | Put toys away, make bed (with help), put clothes in the hamper, brush teeth | Water plants, help feed a pet, match socks |
| 6–8 | Make bed, set or clear the table, tidy bedroom, pack school bag | Put laundry away, dust, help with groceries |
| 9–12 | Load or unload the dishwasher, feed or walk the dog, homework | Take out trash and recycling, vacuum a room, fold laundry |
| 13+ | Dishes, own laundry, help cook dinner | Clean the bathroom, mow the lawn, cook a family meal, wash the car |
These are suggestions only. Children develop at different speeds, so adjust the list to your child's abilities and always supervise chores involving cleaning products, hot surfaces or power tools.
Tips for a chore chart that works
- Keep it visible. Put the chart at eye level for your child, on the fridge or their bedroom door.
- Be specific. "Put toys in the bin" is easier to finish than "Clean your room".
- Use the day grid. Gray out days a chore isn't needed so every empty box is a real job.
- Celebrate the total. Count the ticks in the Done column at the end of the week and pair it with the reward line or a reward chart.
- Print a fresh copy weekly. Your chart is remembered in this browser, so set the new week date and print.
Frequently asked questions
What chores are appropriate for each age?
As a rough guide, children aged 3–5 can put toys away, help feed a pet and make their bed with help. Ages 6–9 can set and clear the table, tidy their room and pack their school bag. Ages 10–13 can load the dishwasher, take out the trash and do simple laundry, and teens can cook simple meals, mow the lawn and clean the bathroom. Every child is different, so start with a few chores and add more.
How many chores should a child have?
Two to four daily chores is a common starting point for young children, with one or two bigger weekly jobs for older kids. A chart that fits on one page and can be completed most days keeps motivation high.
Should I make one chart for the family or one per child?
A shared chart works well for rotating chores and makes it easy to see who does what. Separate pages avoid comparisons between siblings and let each child decorate and own their chart. Switch between both with the Layout option.
How do I rotate chores between kids?
Add the same chore twice, assign each copy to a different child and switch on alternate days, for example Mia sets the table Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun and Leo on Tue/Thu/Sat. The ready-made kids and household lists show this pattern.
Can I use this for roommates or adults?
Yes. Load the household list, enter roommates' names and turn off icons for a cleaner look. Weekly chores such as cleaning the bathroom can be set to a single day.
Is my chart saved?
Your people, chores and settings are saved automatically in this browser's local storage so you can print a fresh copy every week. Nothing is sent to a server.
