I’ve tried so many different ways to get my kids to do chores—charts, reminders, rewards, you name it. But this simple system has finally clicked for us!

Each day, my kids just check the chart to see what’s on their list—it might be a few chores or just one, so it doesn’t feel overwhelming or repetitive. The best part? They know chores come before screen time or playing with friends, so there’s no arguing or negotiating. It’s been one less thing for my mom brain to think about and such a game-changer in our house. I’m excited to share it with other families!

See examples listed of what it should look like — add stickers on the days you want that specific chore to be done. You can pay an allowance, or not — this download will include both options. There is space for you to write in chores for them to make money, or just cut that part out. There is also a sheet if they’d like to mark off each day when they’ve accomplished their chores!
