Age-appropriate jobs with pictures: set the table, feed the pet, tidy the room and more.

How to make a chore chart

Children like to help when they know what is expected. Choose your child's age and the tool suggests jobs that fit it, with a picture and a tick box for each one. Change the list to match your home, put the chart on the fridge and tick off jobs through the week.

Chore Chart ideas

Pick jobs that match your child's age and add them one at a time.

  • Make the bed.
  • Tidy the toys.
  • Set the table.
  • Clear the table.
  • Feed the pet.
  • Water the plants.
  • Put clothes in the basket.
  • Take out the trash (older children).

Tips for a chore chart that works

  • Choose jobs your child can really do alone. Small and finished is better than big and half done.
  • Name the job and the time, such as feed the pet before breakfast.
  • Rotate jobs every few weeks so nobody gets bored.
  • Say thank you. Praise for effort works better than payment for most young children.
