How to Make Your Own Chore Chart

Only you know what works best for your family as far as helping out. You can make your own chore chart by using our free printable blank chart to add in tasks that you want your children to do daily or once or twice per week, either for their own benefit or for the family’s benefit. 

If your child is two or three, you may not want to fill up the whole chart! Just start by listing two simple chores they can learn to do each day, like helping you wipe the table or putting away child-safe dishes. Add in one chore they can do once a week, like dusting. My littles love dusting! 

You could also add a couple of tasks for bedtime, like brushing your teeth, getting a drink, and going potty. Even the things that seem obvious to us can be hard for a little one to remember.

If you have older children, try adding three chores that they can do to benefit the family each week (cleaning the toilets, mopping, and taking out the trash, for example) and one chore that can benefit them each week (putting away clean clothes or cleaning their dresser). Then add in any daily tasks they’re responsible for.

Try to make it fun and remember that you’re teaching your children over the long term to take responsibility and have a good work ethic. It’s worth the effort!
