5. Free Chore Chart – Heavy Work to Focus and Calm Kids
“This list of chores isn’t meant to be done all at once, or even in one day. I have gathered as many examples of chores that provide “heavy work” to give you and your child options. The key is to remember that not all children are the same, and therefore will react differently to each activity. You will want to take the first few weeks introducing each chore and making sure your child is both developmentally ready and willing to complete the tasks.” – Lemon Lime Adventures

What?!), less yelling from all of us, and the house is much cleaner. I don’t know what took me so long to do this! Now instead of sheer chaos it’s more like organized chaos.” – By Dawn Nicole
10. The Picture Chore Chart Tutorial

(A big shout-out to my sister who really helped me with this project and prodded me to stop procrastinating and get it done!)” – Heather Haupt
11. Kid’s Chore Chart Free Printable
“I’d like to introduce a new idea to help organize your home: the Interactive Kid’s Chore Chart! I was previously using a handwritten chore chart, but I kept forgetting to pay my kids for their chores, and they would forget to write down when they completed one. I needed something more visual for everyone, and got this wonderful idea from a woman at my local homeschool mom’s night this month!” – Confessions of a Homeschooler
12. Chore Jar
“I was inspired to make these color coded chore sticks by my childhood babysitter. With my mom being single and working full time we spent a lot of time over at the babysitter’s house in the summer time. Every morning she would ask her kids to pull some sticks from a jar and they were required to finish their chores before going out to play. She never required me to pull sticks, but for some reason I always thought it was fun and mysterious to see what I would get. I think these sticks could make chore-time fun and into some sort of game. And when it comes to chores anything helps.” – Whatever Dee Wants
13. Family Chore Station with Free Prints
“These prints are great because there are over 96 options for chores and 13 different color combinations for the tags and Chore Chart. You can mix and match or print one out per child. I laminated all pages of my tags so that as my son got older I could cut out the ones that applied to him and replace them with the ones we didn’t use as much anymore.” – Dimple Prints
14. The Chic Site
“We have everyday chores (setting and clearing the table, helping to load the dishwasher) and we have Saturday chores (refilling the toilet paper in the bathrooms). These aren’t chores they get paid for… these are chores they do because they’re part of our family and we all help out. Recently though, they’ve latched onto the idea of earning and saving money and so I wanted to come up with a special way to encourage that. After all, mommy has owned her own company for 10 years and I love the idea of young entrepreneurship!” – The Chic Site
15. Chore Card Template
“Even though it is summer, my kids are still expected to do their daily chores. We are not perfect at it all the time, but it helps me to feel organized and keep the house clean with the kids home during the day. My kids are getting older and are pretty good about understanding what is expected of them. It doesn’t mean chore time always runs smoothly…because…let’s face it…they are kids! But I came up with a Chore Card Template that seems to be helping.” – The Idea Room

21. FREE Preschool Chore Charts
“Younger children can have a hard time reading from a chore list. Picture cards can be a huge help at the preschool age so kids can see what needs to be done each day – and actually work on their daily chores (grins). Our kids have learned personal and financial responsibility in the process as they are taught how to save, give, and put money in their wallet for spending too!” – Homeschool Creations
22. Free Rotating Chore Chart and Chore Checklist for Kids
“Now my kids are older they need a checklist so they don’t forget all the things that are expected of them when they do their “deep cleaning jobs”. That’s what we call them in our family.

23. Creating a Chore Chart That Works for YOUR Child
“When our kids were younger, we just did a ticket system and did not have a formal chore chart. However, now that they are all older, it is easier to have all three of them follow the same system. What we are trying to teach them more than anything is that you have to work to earn money. Not only that, but if you do the wrong thing, you may have to pay money to others.” – Penny Pinchin Mom
24. How to Get Your Kids to Do Their Chores Well
“The idea is simple. Using my original chore chart, children complete their chores in zones. Once they have their zone finished for the day, the challenge begins. We can play one of two ways: mom’s pick or peer judge. Both are pretty effective.” – Not Consumed
25. FREE Printable Chore Charts for Kids + Ideas by Age
“I also have a FREE Printable Blank Chore Chart you can use! You can fill in Age Appropriate Chores for you kids. I thought about making customized Chore Charts.

27. Responsibility and Chore Chart for Kids with Printable Chore Chart

By teaching our children that they do work to earn money at an early age they will not be shocked later when they learn this cause and effect relationship.” – Coupons Are Great
28. Simple Chore System
“Do you have a good chore system that you use at your house? I’ve struggled to find a good one that works well at our house. I’ve shared this chore chart and this chore chart in the past, and they would work for a few of weeks, and then they would kind of die off. So, when summer started, and I came up with our summer schedule, I was really looking for a way to simplify the chore system. This is what I came up with, and so far, it seems to be working.” – The Happy Scraps
29. Simple Chore Chart for Kids
“I’m sharing this super simple chore chart for kids. My sister was looking for a way to organize the morning for her twins, and she suggested this simple format. I love it! Once the kids finish a task, they get to move the job to the “done” side of the board. It doesn’t get much easier than that!” – One Creative Mommy
30. Printable Kids Chore Chart
“My Sophie is four now, and it’s taken me this long to realize that a chore chart would be a mighty fine method of teaching helpfulness around here! She’s very good about asking to be excused, and immediately taking her plate to the kitchen sink, but she definitely needs some help in other areas… it’s pretty common for her to leave rooms looking like tornados rolled right through. I was thinking to myself, “gosh, how am I going to really teach her to be responsible for her cleanliness?” and thought of the age-old chore chart concept, and made it my own.” – The Chirping Moms
31. Improve Your Family Life with a Basic Chore Chart {Free Printable}
“One of my biggest hold ups in implementing a chore chart in our home has always been this idea of rewards. Why should I reward my child for doing what they should be doing anyway? I believe that children should be responsible members of our family, and that means helping to take care of our home. So, why reward them for helping, when I expect, and need, them to help?” – What’s Up Fagans?
32. 4 Sure-Fire Ways to Make Chores Fun with the Best Toys
“Never be afraid to mix it up! If a child is performing well, give them a new task to try. Praise their accomplishments, whether through monetary rewards or verbal praise. Kids want to help and please. I often will let my younger kids help with older chores, knowing they cannot accomplish them fully but because they want to be like me. They want my approval that they are helping satisfy a need, and I love that! We are raising our future and if I can break the Chore cycle and make it fun I will! One of my favorite quotes is:” – The Realistic Mama
33. Freebie Friday: My Weekly Chores Chart
“This editable PDF is easy to update each week if you’d like a little variety (I do) and will work great for any age. I wonder if I put “nap” on this chart, if she’ll suddenly start taking one again?” – Today’s Mama
34. Free Personalized Printable Chore Chart Template
“With a ton of spring cleaning going on I decided to make the kids their own spring themed chore chart! I wanted to share it with you but after realizing that parents like to have their children do things that they are capable of rather than the general list I asked my lovely husband to make this a custom chore chart template so that I could share it with you!” – Powerful Mothering
