I wanted to share with you this Printable Chore Chart for kids. These easy chore charts for kids will help to simplify this task and allow kids to share in the household chores.
We have 2 free printable chore charts that you can choose from. It’s an easy way to teach your kids and help them stay organized.
Our kids actually think the chore chart is a great idea. I think it helps them to see in writing a list of what they need to do and helps to implement routines.
This will look different for every family, but we are assigning small chores to each family member that they will complete each day. Once the week is over, they are rewarded for their efforts.
We are doing small rewards, like a quick treat, sticker for younger kids or maybe ice cream or a movie night as a family. The reward system will vary for young children or older children.

Why We Love This

Once it is written down in a simple format, the kids know what they are responsible for so there isn’t any confusion. It gives kids a sense of accomplishment and acts as a visual reminder of what needs to be done while teaching important life skills.
Keep the list in a central location such as the fridge and write the child’s name on it.

Age-Appropriate Chores for Kids
I thought I would give you an idea of what we are doing for a family chore chart including daily chores. Of course, you can easily do weekly chores, but we want daily chores that they do every single day.
You can do this however you feel is best for your family. The responsibility charts make it simple to adjust the chores based on children’s ages.
Here is a list of household chores that kids can do.
- wipe down the table after dinner
- wipe down kitchen counters
- take out trash
- pick up living room
- sweep
- pick up room
- make bed
- pick up the front yard or lawn (we play a lot in the front yard with our scooters and playing basketball)
- pick up back yard toys
- wash dishes
- unload dishwasher
- wipe down toilet and tidy bathrooms
- Loads of laundry
- Vacuum
- Empty the hamper and take dirty clothes to laundry room
- Wipe baseboards
- Brush Teeth
- Feed pets
- Homework
- Change bed sheets
- Load the dryer
Those are just a few ideas off the top of my head. We have over 100 ideas for Age appropriate Chores for kids for more ideas for younger children and older children.
The list is broken down in categories according to kids ages. It is a great starting point if you are beginning to do chores in your home. I like to refer back to the list every so often as the kids get older.
Or maybe you just need ideas of chores that different ages can do. Either way, it is a great resource.
Can You Make Dry Erase Chore Charts?
Yes, you can easily turn these chore charts into dry erase charts. We bought these dry erase pockets on Amazon. Sometimes you can also find them at the dollar store, but they don’t always carry them.
You simply place your printable chore charts inside the pocket and you can easily use a dry erase marker to check off your days and to change your chores.
That ways you don’t have to print a new chore chart each week and can use dry erase markers. I just think these dry erase pockets are so neat to use with a simple chore chart.
It is also handy if you switch chores frequently. You can also use a laminator for this weekly chore chart template.
