This free printable chore chart makes a weekly checklist for up to six kids. Pick each child's age and it fills in chores they can do, from putting toys in a bin to cooking a family meal. Edit any row, add a points column if you want one, then print it or save it as a PDF.
| Chore | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | Remove |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
For a PDF, pick "Save as PDF" in the print dialog.
The same chart works from preschool to high school. What changes is how many chores go on it and how much you check in. For the full list by age, see the age-appropriate chores tool.
Keep it to three jobs and do them together. Use the chart as a picture of the routine more than a scorecard. Let them make the tick themselves, because that is the fun part.
On the chart: Help feed pets (with supervision), Wipe small spills, Make bed (pull up covers).
Kids this age can follow a list on their own. Go over the chart at the same time every evening and let them catch up on anything they missed before bed.
On the chart: Pack school bag and check homework, Help cook simple meals, Water outdoor plants.
Hand over whole jobs, not pieces of them: the full laundry load, not just sorting socks. This is a good age to switch on the points column and agree on a weekly reward.
On the chart: Walk dog independently around block, Manage own laundry (wash, dry, fold, put away), Mow lawn (push mower).
Teens push back on being managed, so let them help write the list. Fewer, bigger jobs work better than a long daily checklist, and the chart becomes a record you both agreed to.
On the chart: Iron own clothes, Cook full family meal, Manage household supply inventory.
Load one of these with a click, then change the names and chores above. Loading a template replaces the chart you have open.
