So far, so good!

This is the first charting system that has ever worked for my son and we have tried many systems. It’s only been one week and we are still tweaking and adding opportunities to earn checks and stars but he loves seeing the stars and marks add up and he loves the chimes when he earns trophies. He’s even started going out of his way to do things without being asked. It’s definitely a work in progress, but so far so good! ...3 weeks in and it’s still working! Still tweeking...like adding opportunities for earning points by choosing calming exercises, making smoother transitions between activities and taking initiative to practice kindness. The trick seems to be using the app only for positive behaviors and not as an overtly manipulative tool. Keeping it fun and positive!

Mom of 3 and BCBA in training...

So I work at a behavior school and we use a token economy system...that gave me the idea to use this chart at home with my sons. They all work for (stars) quarters, and when we go to the store, they are required to use their own money for anything they WANT in the store. I only buy what they need and what I want to buy for them. Believe it or not, they "get it" at 5, 6 and 9. This works extremely well when I follow through. They like getting their allowance and they love being able to go in the stores and interact with the cashier. Other people in the store always comment about how great it is they they are learning responsibility and the value of money at such an early age. I have boys that will grow to be men one day, and I want them to form good habits, learn responsibility, and be financially savvy adults. This app is great, and I have no complaints that I can think of at this time. I recommend it to friends and other parents all of the time. It is worth every penny of the $4.99...if for no other reason that getting my kids to do chores are A LOT less frustrating. *Now I just have to figure out how to use it at work...🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Privacy risk

2022 review edit: I’d like to sync devices with my kids, since they are older now. It appears that the only way to do that is using dropbox, which presents significant privacy concerns as well as security concerns. I attempted to email customer support for Chore Pad to see if there was another option and the email bounced back saying the address was no longer correct. The developer website is also unsupported. And there is no privacy policy for chorepad in the App Store. I’m bailing on this app and looking for something that is still supported and more secure. A shame. First tried this app when the kids were four and six and it didn't work so well. Sticker charts with immediate tangible rewards worked better then. But now the kids are eleven, nine, and five, and it's working great as a summer chore chart. They're old enough to appreciate the value of saving up for the rewards they really want. And I finally have help with the mess! I wish they would add and an icon library or a way to access emoticons for the rewards chart. And I wish they would add badges, like Fitbit offers. I use this chart for myself to keep track of my chores as well. It would be fun to get a badge for competent adulting!

Verywell Family / Amelia Manley

Chore charts are a helpful tool for families to introduce or track household chores . “We help children learn to do chores when we set clear routines and are consistent in our expectations. Chore charts help both parents and children to be clear about these expectations," says  Helen Egger, MD , a psychiatrist and the co-founder, chief medical officer, and chief scientific officer of Little Otter, an online therapy platform. Doing chores builds kids' time management and organizational skills, boosts self-esteem, and encourages independence.

When choosing a chore chart, it’s important to find an option that suits your child’s developmental stage and, ideally, can grow with them. Effective chore charts are visually engaging and provide ways to showcase rewards and positive feedback. Families with multiple children might also consider a single chore chart that all of their kids can use. To find the best chore charts, we spoke to a child psychiatrist and considered each chart for age appropriateness, longevity, family size, and clarity of expectations. We also had a clinical psychologist from our Review Board review this article for accuracy, why chores are beneficial to children, and how to make them fun.

Based on our reviews, these are the best chore charts on the market today.

• What to Look For

Why Trust Verywell Family

Best overall, chart to finish kids reward chart.

48 hand-illustrated chore magnets

Magnetic backing or hanging rope

Magnets may fall off easily

Designed for one child only

The Chart to Finish Kids Reward Chart is our top pick because of its versatility and longevity. We love how this chart can be used in a variety of ways with both younger and older kids. The chart comes with 48 hand-illustrated chore magnets that include both duties and behaviors. Illustrations are easier for younger kids and as they get older, your kids can use the dry erase marker to write in other age-appropriate chores . 

The bright star magnets provide positive motivation in a visual manner. If that’s too childish, the dry erase marker can be used for check marks to signify the completion of each task. Special spots for goals and rewards make it simple for kids to follow along.

The chore chart has a magnetic back, so it can cling to a refrigerator, but it also comes with a rope for easy wall hanging. Any materials you’re not using can be tucked away in the included storage bag.

Best Magnetic

Magnet storage lacks organization

This well thought out magnetic responsibility chart helps kids visually understand their tasks and goals. The 91-piece set has magnetic tiles for daily chores, accomplishments, and good behavior. Blank tiles allow parents to customize the chart to their family.

Parents will love the attached storage bin that holds all the tiles and kids will love the “you’ve earned it” reward box that’s big enough to hold small toys and treats for motivation. Reviewers appreciate that this chart is very sturdy and easy enough for kids to put on their own magnets after completing their chores.

Best for Two Kids

Families with two kids will enjoy this two-in-one chart that allows parents to set separate goals and rewards for both kids, all in one place. With space for seven tasks per child, the set includes 108 magnetic task cards (with multiples) plus 12 blank task cards to customize for your family.

A dry-erase marker and two storage bags round out the set, making it easy to keep each kid’s chores and rewards separately. Parent reviewers love that this chart can be used for two kids with different abilities, so it’s perfect for siblings.

Dry erase board (but looks like a chalkboard)

Can fit multiple children

For larger families, this dry-erase option has distinct spots to add chores for up to three kids, making divvying up chores easier. While it looks like a chalkboard, this is actually a styled dry erase board, so parents can write dust-free. And it's customizable; simply add each kid’s name.

There is room for seven chores per child and a separate area for notes for each child. Sticking with the custom theme, this chart can be made from a magnetic material, has a choice of wood color frames, or can be purchased without the frame.

Best Alternative

Set contains 50 sticks (8 are blank for customization)

No way to track daily chores

Some chores may not fit into family's lifestyle

If chore charts don’t work for your family or you’re looking for a fun alternative, these chore sticks may fit the bill. The set contains 50 sticks; 42 have pre-printed chores on them and eight are blank for each family to customize. Kids simply pull a chore stick out of the container and get to work.

Just like life, this tin of chores isn't all work and no play. There are some fun chores mixed in, like “dance to a song” or “10 minutes of free time.” While there’s no way to track daily chores, this innovative delivery system may be fun enough for kids to keep it up and complete some chores every day.

Best Budget

Juvale 6-pack chore chart for kids.

Try this economical six-pack of dry erase chore charts if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or just want to dip your toe into the world of chore charts. The reusable self-adhesive chart has a sticky backing, so it can be hung in a prominent spot in your house. If you have multiple kids, the six-pack provides a chart for every member of your household.

These can also be used in different rooms, so kids can easily see bedroom chores versus kitchen chores. The basic set doesn’t include markers, but will work with any dry erase marker, and has a spot on each chart for a goal and reward.

Above the task list can be the word “chores,” “tasks,” or anything else that makes sense for your family.

Included are two white chalk pens, with the option to purchase more, to complete the chalkboard style.

What to Look for in Chore Charts for Kids

Age-appropriateness.

A chore chart designed for tiny tots might not be as appealing and encouraging for older kiddos. Choosing an option that looks and feels age-appropriate for your kids will encourage them to actually want to do their chores. Dr. Egger says doing chores is a skill that takes time to develop.

"Like any skill, it requires learning and practice. This is why it is important to choose chores that are appropriate for your child’s age and developmental stage. It is also why parents should help their children do chores if they are beginning to learn how to complete the tasks," Dr. Egger explains. "Parents can also teach children ways to have fun while doing chores that take more time with songs or games. Make sure you give positive feedback when children complete their tasks. Notice and give your child affirmation when they do chores without being asked!"

In addition to learning and practice, be sure that young children are given small tasks that are manageable, Dr. Egger recommends. "You can remind your child that a chore needs to be done and do the chore side-by-side with your child as they learn," she says. "Most young children love to help!"

Charts made of high-quality materials will last longer and won't need to be replaced each year. Whether you go for a wood-framed chore chart or a whiteboard, choose a chart that won't fall apart. This ensures you're able to reuse it for the years to come, saving you money in the long run.

Dr. Egger says starting chores as early as 2 and 3 years old can be beneficial, especially when you're aware of your child's developmental stage. "Young children might help to put toys away, 4- and 5-year-olds can help clear the table after meals, 6- and 7-year-olds can help to feed pets and set the table, 7- to 9-year-olds can load and unload the dishwasher, 10- to 11-year-olds can do laundry and change linens, and kids 12 and older can do additional cleaning in the house and outside with teens able to help with errands when they can drive or use public transportation," Dr. Egger says.

"Also remember we are our children’s role models!," she says. "We need to be consistent and cheerful in doing the tasks of daily life to model to our children how we want them to do their chores."

Family Size

Some chore charts are designed to only accommodate a single child while others have enough space for three children. Choose a chore chart that can fit all of your family's little helpers.

Clarity of Expectations

No matter your family size, Dr. Egger says setting a clear routine and being consistent is important. "Chore charts are a great way to set expectations, establish routines, monitor progress, and give your children positive feedback for completing their chores. We help children learn to do chores when we set clear routines and are consistent in our expectations. Chore charts help both parents and children to be clear about these expectations," she explains.

"It is important to associate positive emotions and success with doing chores. Linking rewards to chore completion in a chore chart also reinforces the child’s completion of chores and links positive outcomes with doing these expected tasks. Children can get stars when they complete their chores and these stars can be linked to rewards to celebrate the child’s success," says Dr. Egger.

If you notice your child still having difficulties with doing chores, it's okay to reach out for help, Dr. Egger says. "Some kids are going to have difficulties with doing chores . If chores are leading to a lot of conflict between you and your child and within your family, seek guidance from a parenting specialist or consider a mental health evaluation to understand if there are emotional, behavioral, or developmental factors that are contributing to these challenges."

Frequently Asked Questions

While you may be inclined to let your kids "just be kids" instead of giving them tasks at home, having your children complete household chores can actually go far towards helping them develop valuable skills. According to psychiatrist Helen Egger, chores can build important life skills such as taking responsibility, seeing things through, time management , organization and the ability to complete tasks independently. What's more, one Harvard study found that adults who did chores as kids fared better later in life.

Giving your kiddo age-appropriate chores is critical—if they don't understand how to do something or feel like they can't do it on their own, they can get frustrated, overwhelmed or discouraged. To determine if chores are age-appropriate, they should correspond to the activities your child is already doing on their own on a daily basis. For example, your preschooler is taking out toys to play with, so an appropriate chore would be putting those same toys away. School-age children put their coats and backpacks on to go to school, so they could return those to the closet when they get home.

There are a few ways you can make a chore chart fun. An alternative to a traditional chart, such as the chore sticks above, can make things more interesting for kids. You could include a few "non-chore chores," such as " read a book with mom" or " play a game with dad" so that the chart doesn't feel purely like work and includes some play as well. Or if you're using a chore chart for older kiddos, one of whom is a budding artist, you could let them design a fun chart themselves.

Maya Polton is a former marketing manager and current freelance writer who covers food, home, and parenting. She’s also the mom of a 10-year-old son, a 7-year-old son, and a 3-year-old daughter. Although her family has never used chore charts, it may be time to change that!

3 Downloadable Chore Charts for Kids—And How to Use Them Effectively

Organize your kids' household responsibilities with our free printable chore charts, and learn helpful tips for using them properly. 

Even children as young as 2 can help out around the house. The secret? "Parents should present chores in a way that makes little ones feel they're contributing to the family," says Robert Billingham, Ph.D., a human development specialist at Indiana University in Bloomington. By setting the dinner table, for example, kids see that they are important and needed— both of which build their self-esteem . "Chores also help children develop a sense of responsibility," says Dr. Billingham, and they teach important skills like time management.

So how do you keep your family on track with household duties? Many experts recommend a daily or weekly chore chart. These charts help children remember what responsibilities need to be done, and they give an incentive to finish tasks—especially if you have a reward system in place. Keep reading for tips on implementing a successful chore chart for kids, with three free options to print at home.

Setting Up a Chore Chart

There are oodles of chore charts online, and many of them can be overwhelmingly complicated or too specific and not flexible enough to fit your home, family, and lifestyle. A chore chart should be a simple, easy-to-understand chart that your kids can refer to when it is time for them to complete their tastes. That said, there are a few important things to keep in mind when choosing a chore chart to help keep your whole family on track.

Consider your child's age

Chores should increase in difficulty as your child ages. A preschooler's chart, for example, might include simple tasks like "brush teeth" and "clean up toys." A tween's chart could list "fold laundry," "rake leaves," "set the table," or "vacuum living room" as potential tasks. Make sure to adjust the charts regularly based on your child's abilities and schedule.

Give instructions

Whether your child is in preschool or high school, you should explain each task on their chore chart, making sure they can complete it independently. Also, realize that mistakes are inevitable, says Dr. Billingham, and patience is key. In the beginning, you may find yourself wanting to hover or micromanage, especially if you've been in charge of that particular chore for a long time, but try to resist that urge. Instead, let your kids make mistakes and learn from them.

Decide on rewards

Many experts suggest holding off on rewards until elementary school or later; younger children are often motivated by praise alone. When you do implement incentives, it's usually best to link payday to their overall weekly or monthly contribution, so your children won't expect bonus points every time they chip in. Some fun reward ideas could be:

• Screen time
• Pizza-making party
• Spending money
• An experience like visiting the zoo or the movies

Print the chore chart for kids

After printing the chore chart, hang it somewhere accessible, like the fridge or bulletin board. Kids can use the chart for reference throughout the day and mark tasks as completed with check marks, stickers, or whatever method you desire. Make sure you have fun stickers or bright marker colors for your kids to mark off the chores they complete.

Switch up the chores

To help curb boredom, try switching up the chores each week or month. To make it fun, have the family sit down and do chore swaps or think about adding a seasonal chore that is worth more points. By adding a little bit of novelty, you can make chore charts an interesting and even fun experience for your kids.

Turn chores into a game

If your kids are resisting their chores, try adding a sense of play to their responsibilities. For example, have your kids dust while dancing to music. Or slip on some old, thick socks and let your kids "mop" the floor. You can set a timer and see who can fold the fastest or sort the recycling. By turning chores into a fun game, kids are less likely to complain and may even like getting their tasks done!

Consider apps for older children

Downloadable chore charts work great for toddlers and school-age children, but tweens and teens might not respond to these "old-school" organization methods. Instead, parents can easily make digital chore charts with Cozi , a free app that syncs across your family's devices. Children can "check off" the tasks they complete on Cozi, and parents can track their progress virtually. Cozi has several other functions as well; for example, parents can create to-do lists and shopping lists, a shared family calendar, a database of recipes, and a family journal. The app helps your family stay organized despite everyone's busy schedule. Click here to learn more about Cozi . (Free; iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Android).

Printable Chore Charts for Kids

Teach kids how to handle responsibility with these three printable chore charts. Download the best option for your family, hang it somewhere accessible, and let the household duties begin!

Fill in chores that are unique to your family in the available blank spaces. Mark them as completed with stickers, stars, or checkmarks. This chore chart helps families plan what should be done each day of the week, and it simplifies the process of tracking completion.

Age-by-Age Chore Chart

Need help designating tasks? This chore chart breaks down age-appropriate responsibilities, with blank spaces to fill in tasks of your choice. Print one for each child and personalize it by adding their name, fun stickers, and fun reward at the end of the week.

How to take the chore out of your chore charts and lists

Does your household frequently forget to do chores? If your household struggles to upkeep its cleanliness, you should consider using a chore chart. Creating weekly chore charts can be hard work on their own—assigning chores to everyone, tracking who is completing each task, and making sure it is equitable; all of which takes a lot of planning and effort. Learn how to take the ‘chore’ out of your chore charts and lists using Microsoft OneNote.

How to create a chore chart template

Recreating a chore list and divvying responsibilities every week can be daunting. Luckily, OneNote has an easy solution. Create a chore list template, save it in your notebook, and reuse it each week.

Stay organized with Microsoft OneNote

Collect, organize, and share your ideas in a digital notebook.

To start, create a table to use as your chore chart. Click Insert a table in OneNote to organize information. Organize your table by specifying days of the week across the top row and household members in the initial column. You can further customize your table by clicking the table ribbon, to add rows and change color to distinguish different days. Once you’re happy with your chore chart design, save it and start planning out your week.

Templated lists in OneNote can help whatever you need to plan, from crafting lesson plans to travel itineraries .

Track chores with to-do tags

There are so many places in the house to keep organized. OneNote simplifies tracking chores with to-do tags. To-do tags let you categorize chores how you want to. Do you need to wash dishes, clean the refrigerator, empty the kitchen trash can, and want to keep these tasks organized under kitchen chores? While in the Home ribbon, click the second down arrow in the tags section to customize and create tags. Name the tag “kitchen chores,” and customize the list symbol, font color, and highlight color to distinguish it from other chores. Now you can make sure no chore goes unaccounted for!

Share the chore chart with your household

Don’t let chore assignment fall onto one person in the house. With your chore chart saved on OneNote, share a page or notebook with anyone. Send an email invitation to your whole household and give them editing permissions. Once they have access, they can write chores beside their name, and everyone can see assignments in real-time. Including everyone in your household allows them to assign chores to themselves when they’re available. To help prevent scheduling conflicts, you can also add meetings or events from Outlook. From the Home ribbon, click meeting details and add anything scheduled in Outlook into your notebook.

To add more fun to doing chores as a family, you can even make it into a competition! To incentivize the kids (and adults) in your household to do chores, track each family member’s chores for the week, see who does the most chores, and award a special prize for the winner.

Add a personal touch to your chore chart

Add a personal touch to your chore chart in OneNote by utilizing customization options in OneNote. Select draw and use a pen, pencil, or highlighter. Write your tasks out by hand in different colors to make your chore list pop. If you think your family members will use poor handwriting as an excuse to get off chores, you can always convert your handwriting to text. Click Select Objects or Lasso Select ; draw a circle around the text and select to ink to text. You can also add visuals to your chore chart by inserting images to use as stickers or drawing smiley faces and stars to praise completed chores.

Maintaining a household is tedious enough. Simplify creating a chore chart by using OneNote to keep everything you need to do around the house, organized and accessible. Learn more organization tips from Microsoft.

35 Free Printable Chore Chart Templates

If you want to get your family organised at home, a free printable chore chart is the perfect solution. Introducing chore charts for children teaches them a great life lesson, helping kids learn responsibility. Printable chore charts provide consistency, so the kids know exactly what they have to do each day by simply looking at the chart.

Introducing a child’s chore chart isn’t just a useful way to get a little extra help with jobs around the house – there are numerous benefits for your child’s wellbeing and development, too.

Benefits of Free Printable Chore Charts

• Studies show that children who help out around the house from a young age can have better relationships with friends and family when they grow up, because they learn the importance of working together and contributing to their household.
• When expectations are in place about who needs to do certain chores, families are less likely to argue. A free chore charts template is the perfect visual tool to set these expectations and can also reduce power struggles with parents.
• Doing chores helps children learn how to manage time – a useful skill for the rest of their lives.
• Children can experience a surge in brain development when they complete chores. For example, if they set the table they are applying real-life maths and analytic skills as they count how many utensils each person needs. This can also set them up for success in other areas such as reading and writing.
• A chore planner can help teach kids about self-control and discipline, and this in turn can help them develop financial skills.
• Chore charts can help teach children to be independent, and as they get older they can check their printable chore list themselves and mark off their chores when they’ve completed them.

How to Use Free Chore Chart Printables

We’ve talked about the benefits of chore charts for children, but how do you introduce a child’s chore chart successfully? Here are a few tips that can help:

• Start as young as possible! You might think your child is too young to introduce chore chart printables, but many small children are much more capable than we think they are.
• Make sure you praise your child right from the start rather than waiting until a chore is completed. Encouraging your child while the chore is in progress is the best way to build positive momentum, especially for little ones.
• Try to have a relaxed approach to how well your children complete their chores. Nobody is perfect, and it’s important not to jump in and do the chores for your child.
• Be a good role model. Children learn more easily if they see others in the family doing the same thing. Why not try a house chore chart for adults in your family too?
• Remember it takes time to develop good habits, so don’t be discouraged if a chore chart doesn’t work for your child straight away. Just keep reinforcing the positive behaviour and after a few weeks you’re bound to see some progress.
• It’s easy to get busy with everyday life, but try and check your child’s chore chart each day with them.
• Make using your free kid’s chore chart lots of fun for everyone. Put on some loud music, sing songs or see who can finish their chores first!
• Older children can be rewarded with money if they complete chores. It’s a good way to introduce them to the world of working and how things will be when they get a job as an adult.

Chore Chart 3 Year Old

Around 3 years old is the perfect age to start chores, and completing easy tasks helps young kids feel confident and helps their motor skills. Children of around this age love to help, and we’ve got a perfect chore chart for a 3 year old that you can download and print for free.

Children tend to develop an independent streak by age 3, and will enjoy completing tasks all on their own. It’s important to remember that the goal is for your little one to learn how to follow directions and see their chore through to the end. The end result probably won’t be perfect, but small children are learning about a sense of self-pride and responsibility each time they try to complete a chore.

Here are a few ideas of tasks to add to your 3-year-old’s chore chart:

• Put dirty clothes into a basket. You could even turn this into a fun game by letting them throw clothes into a hamper from the other side of a room.
• Help look after a pet. Children feel a huge bond and love for their pets, and they can easily help with simple tasks like grooming or feeding animals.
• Watering plants with a small watering can.
• Put away toys and games. Tidying away these items gives young children a visual result so they can see how they are making a difference and helping the entire household.
• Setting up the bathroom ready for a bath. Ask your child to fetch their favourite bath toys, towel and face cloth.
• Stacking books. At the end of story time, ask your three year old to put the books that you’ve read into a neat pile.

When deciding which tasks your four year old can do, begin by adding on to any chores they have been completing since their younger years. Add new chores slowly too so that your little one isn’t too overwhelmed with new tasks.

Some tasks to add to your 4 year old’s chore chart include:

• Help to sort socks and other laundry. You could put all the socks into a large basket and ask your child to sort them into pairs. It’s a great way to learn the concept of pairs and sets, and they will also get to practise vocabulary to do with colours and patterns.
• Wiping down the front of appliances like fridges.
• Make the bed. Make it more fun by asking them to pull the duvet or blanket up and tuck in their favourite teddy.
• Hang up bags and hats at home. You could put up a hook at a lower height so it’s easier for your little one to do this for themselves.
• Sweep up leaves in the garden.
• Dusting furniture.

Some chores that might suitable for a 5 year old include:

• Emptying waste paper baskets.
• Clearing the table after a meal.
• Using a hand-held vacuum cleaner.

Rewards for Chore Charts

Printable chore charts for kids are a great way to help them learn the importance of responsibility and completing tasks. By assigning specific tasks to each day of the week, your child will know exactly what is expected of them.

This will help them to stay on track and avoid forgetting any important chores. When used in conjunction with rewards, chore charts can be an effective tool to introduce chores for children. There are many different ways to use rewards with chore charts.

One way is to offer younger children a small reward for their chores. For example, if we have our child wash dishes after eating, we can give them a stuffed toy, a book, or anything they fancy as a form of reward. Another way is to offer a larger reward, like an  allowance , for older children.

Regardless of the method used, rewards can be an excellent motivator for kids if combined with creative chore ideas. We could assign our older children to prepare a simple meal (like a sandwich or a salad) with minimal supervision. We could also give them a new set of clothes, a new device, or even an extra allowance to teach them the value of saving money. Whatever the reward may be, we have to give them something they can cherish and remember as a part of their accomplishments.

Printable, Customizable Chore Chart for Kids

Every parenting tips include delegating tasks to your toddler. Printable chore charts can ease up the process! And, when you make the chore chart yourself, it can be customized to fit your family’s needs. To get started, decide on the age-appropriate chore ideas for your kids.

After that, come up with a system for rewarding them for a job well done. With a little creativity, you can design a chore chart that will help you teach responsibility and have fun at the same time! Let’s divide them into age groups to clarify how we can set a detailed chore chart:

Chore Chart for Toddlers & Pre-schoolers (1 to 3 Years Old)

When it comes to assigning chores to our little ones, there are plenty of age-appropriate tasks that we can consider. Toddlers and preschoolers can do things like putting their toys away, helping to set the table, dusting, wiping up spills, feeding pets, putting laundry in the hamper, and watering plants.

To make it more interactive for them, we can create cut-out images of chores that they can put in columns labeled “to-do” and “done.” This way, they can see what they need to do and visually track their progress by placing the pictures in the respective columns. A good way to attach the pictures is by using Velcro, so it’s easy for little hands to manage.

Chore Chart for Elementary School Kids (4 to 7 Years Old)

Many of the tasks that are appropriate for toddlers are also suitable for elementary schoolers. Some new chores that you could consider assigning to your elementary school-aged children are taking out the trash, vacuuming, helping to cook dinner, washing their own dishes, and sweeping the floor. By involving your children in household tasks, you’re not only teaching them responsibility but also building their confidence and independence.

To make completing these tasks more fun and rewarding, you could create a point system. You can assign each task a certain number of points, and your children could redeem points for rewards. The point system could have three columns: one for the list of tasks, one for when they complete a task, and the last for the number of points earned for each task.

Chore Chart for Tweens (8 to 12 Years Old)

Again, many tasks suitable for younger kids will be fine for tweens. Some that you could consider adding are making simple lunches, walking dogs, helping to clean bathrooms, or changing bedsheets. To encourage a more equal division of chores, we can create a calendar-type chart. From there, we can print a checkbox along with the tasks the child must finish weekly.

Customize Your Chore Chart in Unlimited Ways

There are many printable chore charts for kids available on the internet. However, a lot of them are fairly generic, with very limited ways to customize them. With Goally, you can set up your own customizable chore chart in unlimited ways! You can add or remove tasks, set deadlines, and assign rewards. This makes it easy to tailor the chart to your child’s individual needs and preferences. Additionally, Goally offers a mobile app that makes it even easier to keep track of your child’s progress and ensure that tasks are being completed.

Create Visual Models For Schedules

Printable chore charts for kids can be an effective way to help them stay on track with their daily tasks. By creating visual models for schedules using Goally, they can understand how to keep up with expectations and how to stay organized. This can ultimately lead to less conflict and a more positive household dynamic. Plus, it’ll be one less thing for you to have to keep track of!

Customize Chores, Checklists and Reminders 

Printable chore charts with customizable checklists and reminders make it easy for parents to supervise their children’s progress. The app allows parents to select from a range of activities and chores and then set a schedule and reminders for when each task needs to be completed. This is a great way for parents to ensure their kids are completing their chores and helps to keep the family organized.

Have Goally Count Up the Points for You

Printable chore charts are a great way to get kids involved in helping around the house. By assigning specific tasks to each child and having them keep track of their own progress, they can feel a sense of ownership and responsibility for keeping the home clean and organized.

Goally can help by keeping track of the points each child earns for completing their chores and providing a visual representation of their progress. This can motivate kids to keep up the good work, and can also help parents to identify which areas may need more attention.
